    And people thought Antetokounmpo was hard to pronounce.

    I don’t really get into scoping out lower end draft picks so much. I feel like it’s just a waste of time trying to put the dots together on limited footage and information when there are like a 100 potential picks the lakers work out.

    Our scouting team has proven they’ve got a good eye for talent and it’s fun to trust them when they’re picking and see what they unearth.

    I enjoy watching something on any prospect we bring in.

    I find it fun when we can look back at our takes on that player when we first saw them brought in.

    Not to mention, it's always enlightening to see what kinds of players we're bringing in for workouts.

    Obviously he'll never be a star. Can't even fit his full name on his jersey

    But if he just goes with Abu on his jersey, I'm buying it!

    I have no clue who these guys are, and for the first time in awhile, I don't care.

    Unless you can find me a Clint Capela, I don't care what goes on here...

    I’ve had my eye on Shake for a while. He’s nice, but my top prospect is Moritz Wagner. I’m so hoping he drops to us. :Magicand Rob Dapp:

    I hope we keep the picks. Let's let it ride and see if we can strike some silver or gold again.

    Everything makes me think of a tv or movie reference. And usually, the “Simpsons did it first”.
