The red flag for Duarte is he shot well for only one season against high major competition while being the oldest guy on the court every night. He's much less of a sure thing than some make him out to be. |
Well thats why he'd fall to us. Because scouts make a big deal about him coming into the league at 24 and thus feel like there isn't much of a ceiling left.
He'll be coming into the league a year younger than Kuzma is currently. |
Is he the 22-year-old guy who shot 34% from 3 or the 23-year-old who shot 42%? |
He shot 39% from 3 in juco on approximately 4 attempts per game. Lesser competition for sure, but the 34% season seems like the outlier. He apparently tried to play through a broken finger on his shooting hand and shot 17% from 3 during that 5 game stretch during his junior year before ultimately having surgery. |
He dropped from a blistering 34.8% on 3s to 33.6% on 3s due to that rough five game stretch with a finger injury, fwiw.

Makes sense. Given he'll be coming into the league at 24, what do you all feel his ceiling is?

Optimistic ceiling? A more turnover prone Malcolm Brogdon?

I looked at his 2020 game log. Last game prior to the injury was against Stanford.
Including that 2-for-9 Stanford game he was 44/118 by my count-that’s 37.3%.

| Trey Mann is intriguing to me. He has the midrange game/floater. Decent court vision as well and has the ability to hit the three. |

Trey Murphy or bust.
He's exactly the type of player the Lakers need.
Potentially our own Cam Johnson.
If Murphy cant be had, trade the pick.

I don't feel like doing the math, so I'll take your word for it. The University of Oregon lied to me.

Lakers looking at potential late 2nd/undrafted shooters. I can see that being a priority with their 2-way spots.

Lakers cancelled post workout media session. They don’t want one of their identified 2nd round steals talking! |

He's the latter, because he had ridiculously low amount of assisted shots in 2-point range and 3-point range during his first year at Oregon, the kind he won't be seeing next level, especially early on.

Still like Duarte then Murphy but since the Lakers have not worked out Duarte, I think its Murphy or possibly Hyland if he really impressed the brass??
Would love for the Lakers to buy a second for a multitude of opportunities, either big small foreign, lots of choices |

| Assuming we keep the player. Murphy seems like a laker for. They need three point shooting and seem to covet length. |

Ah makes sense.
How close is he to his ceiling? Still room to grow?
Also, is it just me, or does his gather and release seem slow. Not sure if it really is, or if it just looks that way.

He's not close to his ceiling because he's a late bloomer, 2 years removed from junior college.
There's still refinement for him.

| I personally like Jaden Springer due to his physicality and young age 18-19 yrs old I believe. I would be against picking a 24 year old...just not enough upside imo 4-5 years is a life time |

He's more ready defensively, in terms of man defense.

| Question. Outside of our top picks, have we ever signed a player that we showed or reported that we were working out? I don't remember if we ever have. I feel that we are a little more secretive in our selection, when it's a later pick. |
