    I'll be damned, he reminds me of Robert Horry.

    He's pretty quick. Handles the ball well. Good zip passes. Surprise he's so good with the floater for a 6'9" guy. He's very fluid shooting 3's. I can see why Lakers got him. Looks like a Ryan West guy.

    Overall draft grade A+

    Ball, Kuzma, Hart, and Bryant. All will make the team.

    Lakers have tremendous depth.

    I was hoping we would select Paul George.

    Is that your write up blog? If so well done. I think we just got our future SG or at the very least JC replacements

    Not upset with who we took. Not thrilled with how many we took. We have like 10 players 25 or under. Further moves need to be made.

    Magic and Rob's first draft was a success IMO. Got an elite point guard in Ball and I really like the Hart and Bryant picks - especially Bryant, who I think will be a steal like Zubac was last year. I don't know much about Kuzma, but everyone on my Twitter feed seems to like him so I'm on board. And most of all, they didn't panic over the Paul George stuff, they just pressed onward and drafted their prospects, even swapping one pick for two. They get an A from me.

    Right but I expect trades of JC and possibly Randle this summer for some solid vets. The off-season is just beginning

    I can already tell I'm going to love the energy, tenacity, and physicality Thomas Bryant plays with. Gets excited easily too when making hustle plays



    Rob in his presser tonight said that during his workout they were so impressed with his conditioning and ability to do guard drills

    If you noticed the 4 young guys we drafted there's a similarity Magic is going after ... they're all talented but the key is hard work and coachability.

    Ball was a given... Good with the Hart pick who is a versatile and proven player not too mention a mature young man. I would like to have added Bell though.

    Hart and Ball are going to work wonders together. Very smart players who have a great feel for the game and make the right reads.



    There is a ton to like about Josh Hart's game when thinking about the system and things we need players to be good at on our team to be successful.
