idk why but id love to draft Bol Bol. a 7'2 big who can block shots and hit 3s. Hes super risky but he would be fun to watch as a Laker. But i think we go SG and Okapala, K. Jognson, Hunter, Culver should be there and ill be ok with either.
he's the one guy i would really avoid. he screams 'Bust' to me. there's a reason he transferred from MD.

If he’s Randle then he’s the super version of Randle.
He's Larry Johnson and Shaun Kemp all in one
I was gonna say Anthony Mason body with the showmanship of Shawn Kemp.
Not sure about the style of play comparison yet- _________________ Creatures crawl in search of blood, To terrorize y'alls neighborhood.
Kareem likes Tacko a lot actually, and Tacko wants to continue to work with him.
A center of Tacko's size even learning a competent hook shot on one end and verticality on the other would be a very good thing to have.
It's about if his lateral movement improves, but he does a good job of it in spite of his size. Wonder where he'll be drafted.
I truly think if Tacko mastered verticality in the way Hibbert did, he would be a very valuable piece. That + working with Kareem can only do him good. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

He plays more or less how Coach K would have utilized Julius Randle had he went to Duke.
But in that scenario, Julius doesn't drop to 7th and we never get him. Not that that means anything anymore considering last off-season, but still. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

I think Tacko has a future as a Boban-esque big that can give you a solid 10-15 minutes off the bench. You can’t play him more than that cause he’s too slow/big, but he’s a walking mismatch. He’s definitely a little more than just a giant out there, his footwork and touch are pretty solid for a dude his size.

Nah he's more Larry Johnson type.
He's got way more passing ability and ball handling skills than those guys. Of course he's not on that level, but he's more on the mold of LeBron/Giannis. Super athletic freak with point guard skills. He'll be a stud. _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

Everyone comparing Zion to bigs - even somewhat skilled bigs - isn't getting it. Zion is a guard in a 285 pound body. He'll play up at PF/C in the pros, but he's going to bring elite guard quickness, explosiveness, and handle into the league and potentially shift the entire game for the next 15-20 years.
Zion is thicc Michael Jordan. (bleep) off with that Julius Randle, Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson nonsense. _________________ Under New Management
Zion carries Duke on his back to a victory they didn't deserve.
eh....RJ bailed him out in the clutch.
eh...Zion bailed that entire team out for the entirety of the game.
He's bailed the team out all year. It would be a very ordinary team without him.
Agreed, Duke just isn't deep at all, Reddish turns into Devean George against most top competition, and Barrett barely tries when not on offense (and even then mostly when he has the ball in his hands).
Barrett "bailed out" Zion with his excellent rebound and last basket off the missed FT, but he also stood around and failed to box out the UCF player - his guy the whole way - who had a rebound/layup unfortunately rim out at the final second. And Zion was the only Dukie in a scrum of Golden Knights players fighting for the defensive board on that last play. _________________ Under New Management

We don't win the lottery and Zion doesn't slip to the 10th spot
Who do You guys think that we draft at #10?
White
Nassir
Keldon
Hunter
Those are my favorites at 10 and I think it's realistic
If Coby White is available, I'd pick him in a heartbeat
Bol Bol (depending on the health of his feet)
Brandon Clarke
De'Andre Hunter
Coby White
Jontay Porter
Grant Williams
NAW
Nassir Little is a truly dumb basketball player and I hope the Lakers avoid him altogether. Keldon Johnson seems like a fungible backup shooter type who can be found anywhere in any draft. Svi might have been a better prospect than Johnson. _________________ Under New Management
Clarke is a no brainer for me if he's at 10 (doubtful).
Hunter is fine too.
Coby White is the one that's really growing on me.
