    Yes, big heavy set white guy. Looks ridiculously nonathletic but he can play ball. He turned me into a bit of a believer, but like realdeal I wouldn't spend a pick on him. Certainly not as high as 34.

    I'm not sure this makes sense from the Lakers standpoint unless players were being swapped as well. If we were selecting maybe 3rd or 4th I could see it. But we have the 2nd pick which is almost as good as picking first imo. Otherwise we're just giving Minny assets while getting nothing in return.

    It really depends. Say Mitch is completely enamored with Okafor and his workout. And Minny wants Okafor as well, but can live with KAT and get a 2nd rounder out of it, they could bite.

    I'm sure the Lakers are fine with taking whoever Minny doesn't, but the only scenario I see it happening is a "sure fire" "we want THIS guy" type of decision to make that move.

    I'd rather we stay at 2 unless the move gives us more cap space.

    Damn Jerry's shrunk in his old age. :D

    But awesome picture. Good for Mudiay. His intangibles and hunger to improve are something I think most people will underestimate.

    Looks like a stasher for sure. Probably a pick we could buy late if we want him. I wouldn't use either of our picks on him.

    Here's a link to a cool page on Lakers.com. They have all the information from the 30 kids they've had come in so far.

    Mitch accidentally called the wrong D'Angelo but set up a workout anyway.

    We are working out everyone who entered the draft it seems.
