    That is freaky skeletal small. It doesn't look like he'd have enough strength to even get out of bed.

    Really interesting video. Never thought about, I'm expecting all Lakers to show up with a buzz cut next year.

    Ingram was just 6'2 as a Frosh in HS.

    Grew 7-8" through his 4 years.

    Ingram is growing on me. If we don't sign a max level SF, I would take him.

    If we sign a max level SF, I'm leaning toward the trade down and Dragan Bender scenario. Problem is the draft is first, but Bender may be the new age Center we're looking for long term.

    Coach of Duke Mike K said he thought Ingram would contribute right away. Bender will take a couple years. If Ingram can be a legit SF, AND we take full advantage of FA, we could end up with a pretty darn competitive team.

    I think Ingram could be ROY candidate, but I don't see that with Bender as the youngest player in the draft.

    One thing to take into account is that he's been a SG far longer than he's been a SF. He just recently made the switch to SF because of his growth spurt.

    That's a crazy tall SG. Him and Durant on the same team would be crazy length on D

    Do we have numbers on Bender, or other top prospects like Ingram that have a shot at being selected?

    You're going to be really mad if the Lakers take Bender and it leaks that a fan's lobbying convinced the FO he was the right pick.

    Is Ben Simmons 1-step vertical number correct? It's weird that he can only jump 1.5 inches higher than from standing still.

    No one complained when Byron got fired.

    :Headbang:

    Besides, it's just a theory. I trust Mitch to do what's best regardless of what fans think/want. ESPECIALLY ones in the minority. Besides, he's seen him live. He knows more first hand than any of us.

    Simmons or Ingram, I may have a personal preference, but I'm not going to be disappointed one bit to get one over the other. Still thrilled we get one of them, both have fantastic potential in different areas.
