Guess Our Draft

Eindhoven · Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2018 7:20 am Post subject: Guess Our Draft

Two days from the draft, let's guess what Magic, Pelinka and Buss will do with #25 and #47. Guess the drafted player, if we keep the picks. If we don't keep one or both picks, you have to guess if we're trading up, trading down or trading the pick away.

Me first:

25. DeAnthony Melton
47. Trade up

I think we already have a thread like this with our guesses

I couldn't find any. If you mean the main draft thread, it's more about preferences and analysis than guessing what the FO is doing.

They buried it outside the Lounge and guess what, once you're outside the Lounge you are as good as dead.

Mods...that thread had a four year tradition on the L.

Just sayin'

I'm going to say no one guesses our two draft picks correctly (assuming we keep both picks)

When was the last time someone actually was correct in guessing all the picks we had in a given year?

I hope Lakers trade down in the draft from 25th pick to 2 early 2nd round picks for the following reasons. Would be nice if they purchased a 2nd rounder in the 30-40 range as well.

1. This is a deep draft. You can get a lot of value in the 2nd round.

2. Only 1st rounders have a cap hold. Lakers can hold off on signing 2nd round players until after they complete their free agent signings.

I think Lakers can find a combo guard in the early 2nd round to replace Josh Hart in the lineup in case he is traded.

Atlanta has the 34th pick and Sacramento has 37. Both teams should be able to absorb Deng's contract in a trade.

Philadelphia has 38, 39, 56, and 60. Maybe they would give us 38 and 39 to move up to 25.

Orlando holds 35 and 41 and might want to move up to 25.

Prospects I would want to be drafted by the Lakers are Donte DiVincenzo, Aaron Holiday, De'Anthony Melton, Josh Okogie, Mitchell Robinson, Khyri Thomas, Grayson Allen, Bruce Brown Jr, Melvin Frazier, Rawle Alkins, Anfernee Simons, Shake Milton, Moritz Wagner, Chimezie Metu, Landry Shamet

If we end up keeping our picks, De'Anthony Melton at 25 and Chimezie Metu at 47.

I am trade happy today.

25. Trade out of the 1st round
47. Trade up

By the way, Jesse Buss has a nice idea about "upside" and development.

Huerter if he's there, otherwise trade down with Atlanta to get Anfernee Simons and Gary Trent Jr. Get a project/trade chip and a guy who can give you back of the rotation minutes. 47 I'm also hoping for Svi Kja;dlfkjas;dfoaijsdfoiajsfd

Maybe to trade both to move up a little bit? Hard to tell.

No one and dones, were gonna draft nba ready players that don’t need to rework their jumpshot. Professional young snipers at both picks.

Traded.

Or some dude we never heard about but once kicked Kobe's dog on accident when he was 13 and Lakers fans will now rake him over the coals. He'll have to be blessed by Kobe in the media, LG's tune will change when he balls out, and I'll reply to old forum posts on how popular LG members wanted this guy's head on a stake.

#47 Marion Morrison

Note: Want to see who can figure out who Marion Morrison is without the internet.
