Seeing how Magic has raved about needing a leader and needing a guy who can get others involved... well, I think we knew who he was locked in on.
Fultz will be an elite scorer/closer and Ball will be an elite playmaker/team guy. |

| Perhaps one day we will find out if lonzo saying he wants to be a Laker and refusing workouts deterred those teams from picking him #1 and/or trading up. |

This is the real question, who was #1 on our board? |
There were many reports, Magic on record directly in front of the camera, and Ramona reporting on ESPN, that Lonzo was #1 on our board, and we worked out everyone. Maybe it was just lip service, but everything Magic said about wanting a leader when talking about trading DLo supports that argument. |

I doubt we ever really know the 100% truth....but none of that matters now....they now have to let their performance over the next few years support their case. |

one of these days after we win a few rings with zo on the team. we will thank lavar for being supposedly overbearing to a lot of people. This plus not working out for other teams is what made those other people pass up on him. you have a fanbase thats saying "I hate lonzo because of lavar." you add that to him not working out. you dont even mess around and you choose someone else. it was a deep enough draft at the top to be just fine with whoever you picked. |
