Question about the draft this year. Should the Pelicans decide to not use our pick this year, is our draft pick next year protected in any way? Especially if it is a top 3 pick?

If edey is there I really hope they take him. I think he can come in and be a rotation player right away. If that’s the case Christian wood can replace the backup 4 minutes that rui will leave open after trades. I don’t think young or Mitchell will require 3 FRP to obtain.

It’s crazy because we need a bigman and he’s ready to contribute right away. Every player has flaws and we don’t need to hit a home run right now since we already have AD and Bron. We need pieces that can contribute around them and edey can do that!

JHS and Christie both need to be rotation players this offseason after we make this big trade for Mitchell, Ingram or young.

For what it’s worth I’m guessing Edey goes before 17 since this draft sucks. I’ve read enough chatter that some execs have him ranked highly.

Nikola Djurisic might be the steal of the draft. Have saw him in 2nd rounds in a lot of mocks.

One pick before ours?!

This would trigger LeBron so badly.

I think this draft is flat and will be extremely unpredictable once we get out of the top 10-12.

I think he’ll rise up boards pretty quickly.

Quote:
The Lakers’ first round pick at 17 is near the middle of the draft’s second tier, some scouts believe. That tier includes players like Ja’Kobe Walter, Terrence Shannon, Tidjane Salaun, Jared McCain, Devin Carter, Yves Missi, Kyle Filipowski, Tyler Smith and Tristan da Silva

We better not pick Kyle Filipowski, the guy with a negative wing span over Zach Edey. Dude has also been trash at the combine. It would be the biggest tease I've ever seen.

Terrence Shannon will be the steal of the draft if we get him at 17...Thank GOD the Lakers brass will see how slow Edey is at workouts and PASS.

How can you be taller and have longer arms, yet have the same standing reach?

Good posture? More flexible spine?

It doesn't make sense to me.

Here's some sleepers at 55

AJ Johnson. Does everything Bronny can do, but has a higher ceiling and is 6'5 with a 6'8'5" wingspan. Played international in the NBL this season but like most prospects only got about 7 mins a game. But the talent and ability is very clear. Had he went to Texas as originally intended he'd likely have been a lottery pick.





13 points 4 assists in combine scrimmage

https://twitter.com/League_Him/status/1790760746059452626

SG Max Vertical Reach

1. Ja’Kobe Walter: 11’9”
2. Devin Carter/AJ Johnson/Pelle Larsson: 11’8”
3. Stephon Castle/Bronny James: 11’7”


DaRon Holmes

3 Year college player

Averaged 20/8.5 with 2.1 blocks a game
54% from the field 38% from three



Went 18/25 on the Three Point Shooting Drill.

official measurements
Height: 6'8.75" (without shoes) 6'10 (in shoes approx)
Weight: 236.2 lbs
Wingspan: 7'1"

34 Inch Max vertical, which for a 6'9 guy isn't bad.

28 PTS 7 REB 5 BLK vs Cincinnati Bearcats


Quick off the floor, shot blocker, very efficient inside or from mid, and above average 3 point shooter.

Both these two are greater prospects than Bronny at 55, ESPECIALLY Holmes. If you care at all about defense and want a 6'10 defensive player that could score in college, is reliable inside, quick first and second jump, and can hit the three with regularity... you go with him if he's still there by that pick.

Edey was quicker than Sarr and faster than Clingan at the combine

Holmes and Johnson won’t last until 55.

Nique Clifford and Isaiah Crawford look intriguing to me as late second / undrafted upperclassmen wing defenders with versatility, motor and signs of ability to stretch the floor. They aren’t in a lot of mocks except No Ceilings is so high on Clifford they give him a first round grade.
