Also absolutely LOL at Ja/RJ not being better prospects than Culver/Garland. I know a lot of people that were saying it was a 2 player draft with Zion and Ja before the lottery. Basically everyone has their detractors though. Barrett has a lot and I can see some people being higher on those guys. Just cause you aren't doesn't mean anything.

And, even if there is a consensus for the top 3 it really doesn't mean that much. 1 Zion is in a tier of his own and then I'd put Ja and RJ in a similar tier as prospects, after that there's a big drop off though. Guys like Reddish, Garland, Bol, etc didn't show much in college but are projected to go high because it's an extremely weak class and they have some upside. Not sure who would be higher on Darius Garland who looked okay in 3 games and then got hurt or Culver who can't really create and crapped the bed in the NCAA Tournament. If the Lakers keep the pick they're going to take Cam Reddish, you heard it here first. Edited May 17, 2019 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual NBA scouts disagree with you bro. Just stop. I mean look at your avatar..... lol. You keep talking about this consensus yet are proudly displaying a dude who was selected 4th and wasn't even a consensus top 10 pick. 4 minutes ago, NYRaider said: If the Lakers keep the pick they're going to take Cam Reddish, you heard it here first. Nah. We ain't the Raiders. We actually have a good scouting department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually have a good scouting department. Can you link me to where you're getting information from actual NBA scouts? Thanks. The two guys that you referenced were randoms from twitter, not NBA scouts. lmao. The media big boards =/= team big boards. You feel confident going into the season with Cody Kessler as your starting QB when Wentz goes down again like he does every season? LeBron has sung Reddish's praises in the past plus he's a Rich Paul client, the first thing he did after he signed with him was sit courtside at a Lakers game. But also LOL at the Lakers having a good scouting department, you've drafted terribly and the only two good players you did draft recently are no longer with the team.

That random was quoting a credible Lakers reporters that texted/talked to many NBA scouts who said its not a 3 player draft. What don't you get about that? You expect me to have NBA scouts on speed dial for you to hit up? 27 minutes ago, NYRaider said: The media big boards =/= team big boards.

Get your facts straight. 27 minutes ago, NYRaider said: LeBron has sung Reddish's praises in the past plus he's a Rich Paul client So is Garland? Doesn't make either a lock to get taken by the Lakers. Could it increase their odds? I don't know. Maybe. 27 minutes ago, NYRaider said: But also LOL at the Lakers having a good scouting department, you've drafted terribly and the only two good players you did draft recently are no longer with the team. Terribly? You funny. D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle ain't the only guys we've got. Ball and Ingram ain't bums by any means. I'm not as big on Kuzma and Hart like a lot of Lakers fans, but for where they were taken respectively you can't say those aren't solid picks. I'm not sure about our picks last year, but that's not really a knock since they were all really late. But, now that I think about it.... its kinda sad I have to celebrate our scouting department cause that's the only respectable part of the Lakers organization lately.

Reddish still shouldn’t be a top 5 pick and my point wasn’t that nobody said it’s a top 3 draft. Good for you. I’m aware there are people who are big RJ fans. And, we’ll see in time if you were right or not. Edited May 18, 2019 by TheRealMcCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
