Ryan Anderson type. At 48 he may be a steal and what we need. Not much D and kinda slow but he's a great shooter.
Our defense was the problem last year, not our offense. I understand the benefit of a "stretch 4," but I think it pales in comparison to the need for backcourt and wing speed and defense.

Well as long as MDA is coaching I don't see are defense improving. Also with Nash at PG. also at 48 I don't think you will find an elite defender of any kind. If we wanted better D we would have played Morris and Ebanks more.
Murphy could get minimal minutes and become a fan favorite just because of his ability to hit the 3 ball.
Are D should improve via trades or FA. Not at 48. I just think Murphy could potentially be a steal

his defense is no worse than jamison. and he would likely give you close enough of the offense. would also offer security if clark gets a big head and takes the money _________________ Kobe "I mean Phil's been here, and -- to be honest with you -- we might have, in all the years I've been with Phil, (had) maybe three defensive drills the entire time"
Yeah this guy could be a legit steal at 48. He can be the RyanAnderson/Chandler Parsons but on the Lakers. We need to try something new we keep thinking of getting a guard but they turn out to be wash besides Glocke who I think can be a nice role player next season under MDA.

That's the problem. Guards are usually the deepest in talent so solid talent still goes to the 2nd round. The same cannot be said of forwards/centers.
Still, I'd rather draft the guy with athletic upside and who can do something on both ends of the floor, not just one.
The Lakers were at the bottom of forcing turnovers and fast break points. No team speed. No perimeter speed defensively. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

From a Gator fan who loved watching Murphy lead the SEC in 3pt shooting percentage, I absolutely do NOT want the Lakers to draft him. Our defense sucks as is. Lakers should go after DJ Stephens and improve the defense while adding the best athlete in the draft. Sure, Stephens offense is terrible but how well does he have to shoot the ball if Nash can run the floor and find him in transition, or on offensive rebound putbacks? Our offense will take care of itself, our defense needs a TON of help.
