    I think Jackson makes an immediate impact, just not the one we need most and maybe not as high of one. Still though he's a solid young prospect.

    Jeanie can sell a s*** load more merchandise all over the world with the immediate Magic being back and the Magic / Ball hype that Showtime part deux will be happening than with taking Sydney Moncrief over Lonzo. [​IMG]

    You know why I think it's Lonzo, because one Pat Riley knows (mentoring joke towards magic) and Magic's reaction. Magic compared Lonzo to himself... Luke loves the kid, he's been watching him for a while. Magic, Luke and Rob recently went to visit UCLA and their coaching staff (obviously because of Lonzo)... Lonzo is the one that people keep bringing up Showtime part 2 and I'm sure magic hears about this all the time (while getting goosebumps) .... Drafting Josh, doesn't make sense if we're going after pg13 next summer. It's Lonzo and it ain't even close, everything is a smokescreen/media trying to get attention with their personal agendas, a lot of media members on Twitter etc are Laker haters btw

    Iwundu and yes I agree actually. Iwundu looks a lot like a poor man's Jackson. The big question with Iwundu is how aggressive will he be? He has sort of a Anthony Brown quality of turning down looks. If like to have seen his workout.

    Edit- however Ojeleye is still my guy!

    I hate excuses. Lavar saying he was getting sick and took medication is ridiculous. Reschedule!!! He also alluded to hurt ankle prior to Kentucky game for Fox outplaying him. Ugh.

    No kidding!
    Most pros who are expected to at least have an adequate jumper can hit about 50-80% in practice/warmups. For example, Matt Barnes pregame was making around 80% of his 3's at a Lakers game I was at. Julius Randle the season before last when he was just starting to practice his 3's was shooting about 50%. Heck, google Rondo playing horse. Even he can hit many in a row.

    Of the elite prospects it's been Ball, Fox, and Jackson (twice). Fultz is supposed to go tomorrow.
