Yeah, I almost added them to the list based on Mudiay and Nurkic alone. I really like Mudiay as maybe a young/poor man's John Wall.
I laughed at the Kaminsky pick, but after seeing the early returns, I'm willing to at least give a nod to the idea that maybe there's something there. Certainly don't want to bank anything on summer games, but maybe he really is polished and versatile enough on O that it'll be worth working around the defensive liabilities.
The problem is Charlotte could really use a homerun type player and Justise Winslow was still on the board when they picked. Frank is more of a known quantity, but you had to go Justise there.I laughed at the Kaminsky pick, but after seeing the early returns, I'm willing to at least give a nod to the idea that maybe there's something there.

No argument here. Just acknowledging that I probably shouldn't have laughed off Frank so quickly.The problem is Charlotte could really use a homerun type player and Justise Winslow was still on the board when they picked.

no way he would crack the regular rotation given the weak defense on his part. Pop and Carlisle would be pulling their hair.
Frank is probably a pretty good fit in the near term, assuming he progresses well enough to put Zeller in the second unit. Probably the best shooter in the lineup (No argument here.

Unless that lottery pick is #4 or lower. #HinkietheprocessI don't see the Lakers arrow as up yet. We have no idea how good Randle or Russel will be (particularly Randle, people just assume he's already good for some reason.
After this year they likely lose Kobe and Hibbert, who both kind of suck now anyways, and likely won't have a lottery pick to show for it. I don't get the excitement.
Especially since Tellem is now a Pistons employee. Should be a Woj fluff piece out soon about how Detroit is heading in the right direction.

if they both stepped on the court right now in there currenty condition for an epic battle of the pjs i think pj carlisimo probably wins by 8 going to 13 by 1s and 2s bromigos
I have no idea what to expect from this guy. Hoping for 10-15 quality minutes off the bench. Not sure if that is realistic.
Obviously I haven't watched a whole lot of him, just highlights from China, but it seems very similar to Wall. I'm really surprised he feel because of his jump shot with the success than Wall, Rose, Westbrook and Rondo have had.
Cap space is only asset if you can use it to sign someone.Point being is that the Lakers aren't that far from being competitive again especially with their salary cap situation. This thread likes to make fun of them because Kobe!, but they haven't been doing a horrible job.I'd rather have Noel/Okafor/Saric/maybe Embiid than those 3. And it's somewhat beside the point, but Philly has the picks to continue building through the draft, whereas LA owes two possibly valuable picks in the near future.It's not Towns/Wiggins/LaVine, but that Russell/Randle/Clarkson core is one of the better young cores around...I mean think of it this way...how much (if any) worse is that than the Sixers core?I would be excited for Russell, and I would hope Randle is a competent/useful 4. Clarkson seems like a nice combo-guard/6th man type. Other than that I agree there isn't much to be excited about. They're in wait and hope for a big signing mode. Maybe next year I guess...I don't see the Lakers arrow as up yet. We have no idea how good Randle or Russel will be (particularly Randle, people just assume he's already good for some reason.

That's a push in my book.Replace Splitter and Baynes with Aldridge and West.
Good for him.
