Gotta protect the pick. Lottery protected. Hope we would have learned our lesson already.
also, if we miss our on FA targets, we could take on picks for contracts to help recoup the lost opportunity. |
I'm all for trading a fake 1st, but would a team let the Lakers move up 5-8 spots in this draft for a 2019 pick that is lotto protected and therefore not likely to convey? I could see top-10 protection, though. |

Outside shot for Mitchell Robinson here, I think. |
And Lonnie Walker. Gotta go back to that Rashad Vaughn well. |
Walker is long gone at 17. |
What stupid team is drafting him before 17? |

A team should be so lucky.

The dude thinks he lives in the Matrix: link.
After the fairly consensus top ten I have Troy Brown, SGA, Zhaire, Jontay, Williams, and Huerter ahead of him and I can easily see equally flawed prospects like Knox and Sexton being better fit picks in Denver and Phoenix. Does Walker even care that much about being good at basketball? If I draft a guy in the lottery who needs a fire lit under him, that guy better look like DeAndre Ayton. |

Those are the two guys I keep going back and forth with for Milwaukee. Long athletic specimens are the Milwaukee way. They love defensive potential (just not developing it). |

I’d be fine with a top 10 protection on 2019.
I think it depends on how confident magic and rob are of getting top FA going into the draft.
I honestly don’t think it’s a move they would make, if anything maybe they package a couple seconds to move up to 19 and go from there.

Agreed. It's like they saw Giannis and thought every tall/long/athletic dude can get away with a lot, even if they can't shoot or have great hoop IQ.
If I were them, I'd be looking at Jontay (finally spacing for Giannis), Melton (another defender outside of Middleton), or Huerter (2-way at least), or Anfernee Simons (big gamble but wingspan/athleticism/3pt range).

I think they're different players. If Robert Williams came out last year, the idea was that he'd turn out to be Antonio McDyess.
But, his mid-range game, got worse. He didn't expand range. His FT% dropped 12% to 47%. Essentially, he's the shorter version of what everyone wants Mitchell Robinson to be. 10% blk, 19%TRb, 10% ast., 10% Oreb; a bunch of indicators for success for a PnR dive guy.
Dude definitely dunks through defenses though. Wouldn't be surprised if MIL drafted him either.

Holographic theory is actually a legitimate scientific theory that unites quantum physics with relativity, so he may have a point. Any belief on the origin of life that doesn’t break any fundamental laws is potentially valid so what’s any more outlandish about his belief than say, the many creationists who are successful professional athletes?
Beyond that, your opinion is not the truth. You have 16 prospects ahead of him on your personal board. I guarantee that you will be wrong on a bunch of them. And where do you get the idea that he doesn’t care from?

^Personally, I was impressed that he was even aware of holographic theory.
I think he legit cares as much as any highly competitive athlete. I liked his interview a lot.

Holographic theory is not about holograms, though. That said, last I checked the idea of the world being a simulation is a valid conjecture of physics so your point stands |

Yes, yes, he's more clever than Dorothy Parker and Werner Heisenberg's love child.
I'll be wrong on the majority of them, but I doubt Walker will be one I'll be wrong about. I get the idea that he doesn't care from his subpar impact for his talent level and his lack of motor/overall disinterest when watching him play. But there's nothing wrong with a discount Bradley Beal. You just seem to think he will be Bradley Beal-ish. I hope you're right, the league needs as many young shotmakers it can get as the current crop of stars start to fall off their peaks. |

I would think they need shooting. |
John Henson
Giannis Antetounmpo
Malcolm Brogdon
Sterling Brown
Thon Maker
Acquired Tony Snell.
Lots of length and wingspan. Jabari is the one closest to average. They grossly drafted Thon Maker early. |
The guys who made those picks are no longer in Milwaukee. They run the FO in Orlando now. |

Since that's the case, they're going to draft someone I'm going to like...

Top 10 protected seems like a decent amount of protection for us that might still sway a team in that 16-18 range.
Still think the Lakers want to use the 2019 pick with other assets to unload Deng. Dang 
I feel Huerter will be the steal of this draft as I thought Bolden was in last years draft. Luckily we got Kuzma who was probably the steal last year although I think Bolden will be great if given the chance.
Come on Lakers FO make Huerter your top priority lololol. |

I'm glad I was able to give you some helpful info relating to the draft for once, since you are so incredibly generous with your time answering all of our questions about prospects. 
They took over shortly before the draft last year. Jonathon Isaac was their first pick in Orlando, and he's cut from that same cloth as the guys you listed, so I'm really interested to see what they do at 6. They desperately need a PG and they need to sell tickets, so most mocks have them taking Trae Young, which makes sense.
But I wouldn't be surprised to see them go in another direction and sign a PG via FA. |

There’s no world in which he is a better prospect than Donte DiVincenzo, period. You can quote me on that. |
Those incidents look like signs of mental weakness. Like he couldn't compete effectively, so he was going to resort those tactics; talent aside. |
You put me in a spot here. I hate defending Grayson, and I agree somewhat with what you're saying, but I've never heard anyone say anything like that about Draymond. And he's about as dirty as it comes in this era of buddy ball. Not to mention, guys like Larry Bird, Bill Lambier, Charles Oakley and even John Stockton would get in on the dirty plays from time to time. Hell, Detroit made their mark and won two championships on the back of their tough ways. |
Those old time guys played a tough physical style that sometimes crossed over to being dirty. Grayson just like taking cheap shots when the other player has his head turned. Then he whines about being caught. Big difference. |

A team should be so lucky. |
The dude thinks he lives in the Matrix: link.
After the fairly consensus top ten I have Troy Brown, SGA, Zhaire, Jontay, Williams, and Huerter ahead of him and I can easily see equally flawed prospects like Knox and Sexton being better fit picks in Denver and Phoenix. Does Walker even care that much about being good at basketball? If I draft a guy in the lottery who needs a fire lit under him, that guy better look like DeAndre Ayton. |
Holographic theory is actually a legitimate scientific theory that unites quantum physics with relativity, so he may have a point. Any belief on the origin of life that doesn’t break any fundamental laws is potentially valid so what’s any more outlandish about his belief than say, the many creationists who are successful professional athletes?
Beyond that, your opinion is not the truth. You have 16 prospects ahead of him on your personal board. I guarantee that you will be wrong on a bunch of them. And where do you get the idea that he doesn’t care from? |
Yes, yes, he's more clever than Dorothy Parker and Werner Heisenberg's love child.
I'll be wrong on the majority of them, but I doubt Walker will be one I'll be wrong about. I get the idea that he doesn't care from his subpar impact for his talent level and his lack of motor/overall disinterest when watching him play. But there's nothing wrong with a discount Bradley Beal. You just seem to think he will be Bradley Beal-ish. I hope you're right, the league needs as many young shotmakers it can get as the current crop of stars start to fall off their peaks. |
Idk how you can have Troy brown over him. Hell I don’t think there’s a rationale for having Huerter over him either, let alone SGA and Zhaire. But your guess is as good as mine so we will see. I just think it’s ridiculous to call a team stupid for having him before 17 - I guess anyone who has him above 17 is also stupid? Though seems like you have him at 17 yourself so...

Outside shot for Mitchell Robinson here, I think. |
And Lonnie Walker. Gotta go back to that Rashad Vaughn well. |

I've actually got Zhaire and Huerter both ahead of Walker. Not SGA though, and I'm actually a Fan of Lonnie's. IMO, he DOES have the potential to be a Bradley Beal type, but I also think he has EXTREMELY high bust potential. Guys who still need to work on their body, are extremely rough around the edges and don't stand out in any one category have a tough uphill battle. Fortunately for him.he had very good measurements on top of good athleticism. Where he's drafted is going to play a huge outcome in his overall development as a player, same for Zhaire. |

Lakers just worked out Kevin Huerter today.
I wonder how they feel about him. I think he will be drafted in the high teens. |
