Your new LA Laker: Brandon Ingram

[Retroram52]

Zubac is bigger weight-wise than Thon Maker who went at 10. I like the Zubac pick and may just get nabbed as the starter. If Luke brings the Dubs offense, we may see Tariq Black as the starter at the 5.

 

[Retroram52]

Could Zubac be the new version of Vlade Divac I wonder?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Zubac isn't going to be a starter. He'll most likely play in the D-League or take Sacres spot on the bench

While I agree with you Shaqdaddy, I hope you're wrong.

KAJ did wonders with kid Bynum so maybe, just maybe....

First things first, as TLF suggests....

Luke! Get on the phone with Capt.!

Don't really like the Zubac pick. He better play this year. Euro stash guys this late in the draft rarely if ever pan out. It's a totally wasted opportunity more often than not.

He was a projected first rounder that fell to the second round because he wanted to come over now, so he wasn't a good stash candidate. He's a huge Laker fan and is stoked to join the team. Supposedly the Lakers even had a soft promise to draft him if he fell to #32.

I'm OK with the pick, but have to admit I was getting pretty angry with the 4 picks directly before the Lakers taking all the guys I was watching slide lol (Skal Labissiere, Dejounte Murray, Damian Jones, Deyonta Davis). Then McCaw goes to the Bucks and sold to the Warriors....UGH!

Can't wait to see these kids in purple and gold!

I wanted Black to play alot more this season, but Scott apparently didn't want any part in that.

He'll play this year. That's why he fell to the second round. He refused to be a first round draft and stash player. The questions is whether or not he can be bought out and such prior to summer league.

With all the draft and stash players going, some nicer talent almost made it to #32. Draft Express had Zubac ranked #16.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I agree. Only the Philly guy here said Simmons was clearly the #1 pick in this draft. That was nonsense.

I always approve of the other guy ahead of us being a dumb ass - Just saying - He did a good job drafting(for us of course)

Same here ALR. Black always gives you his best effort every night and his defense isn't too shabby. His scoring needs a bit of work but he's not too far away. I think he'll grow even more with Luke's staff. We shall see.

If nothing else, we should see him if/when Luke wants to go with small ball.

 

[Retroram52]

That is what I was thinking TJF12.

 

[Kold]

Ingram is going to be an excellent fit for us. Things are looking up

 

[Kold]

I haven't quite watched it all, but this is a good watch(albeit, a long one)

 

[Black Adam]

Nope Hibbert will not be starting.

go after Biyombo i'd say. I think he'd make for a pretty good stop-gap...

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Now the Lakers starting line up win or lose should look like this

Clarkson - G
Russell - G
Randle - F
Ingram F
Hibbert - C - resign him for 6 to 8 million?

Hibbert sucks, besides it's probably better in today's league to go small. Is Ingram really a SF? Kind of hard to believe with a 7'2 wingspan.

 

[Black Adam]

Zubac isn't going to be a starter. He'll most likely play in the D-League or take Sacres spot on the bench

err...

I'M for the latter...

watched Summer league last season. DEFINITELY gonna do it again...

 

[Black Adam]

eh, at 6'9" I was a bit leary on Black. like him off the bench, but not with all THAT many minutes...
