I am soo happy with him. I think he is a better fit for this team then simmons.

Part of me was afraid the Lakers were going to fuck this up. Glad to get this guy! I would have picked him over Simmons

I also thought the 6ers might screw it up for us!

I don't know who is skinnier Ingram or Adam Silver

Ingram needs to fill out - he is only 18 so he should but dang he looked like Shawn Bradley going up there

Good pick for the Lakers
I am glad that Sixers didn't overthink it though and screw this up and pick Ingram over Simmons

Simmons was the clear cut #1 IMO

 

[True Lakers Fan]

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?

Nope Hibbert will not be starting.

Simmons was not clear number one. He can't shoot like ingram. Sixes need shooters too. I am glade we got ingram.

I wonder if Luke will let the new center start - I would - We might lose more games, but if all five starters are the new kids on the block - there is a better chance they can play together better by next year and build better chemistry

You should still be afraid - it's never too late for Jim Buss to be a dumb ass

I have to say that I like Adam Silver as NBA commissioner much better then that piece of shit Stern

Zubac is supposedly a good ball handler, can run the pick & roll, but struggles defending it.

Sounds like a good fit, but I doubt if we sign Hibbert, Zu gets the nod to start.

The drafted Zubak after I suggested Hibbert and I still think he has potential at the mid level range of 5-6 million off the bench, but yes - throw all of these rookies to the wolves and start them and while we are on a roll - time to call Kareem and Worthy to start teaching him

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.

They said that he would have drafted sooner, but disappeared in his last season, but has good skills. I think if you get Kareem and Worth as special coaches for the young man and he should be developed. The second round doesn't normally produce good players like the first round so nothing lost if he doesn't work out

ESPN has him ranked higher than Simmons. They have some ranking system where they use several different stats to determine who is likely to perform at an all star level withing their first 5 years. In that ranking, they had Ingram #1.

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