    Welcome Rook!



    One of the wings I was hoping we'd be able to move up for. We desperately needed an athleticism infusion. He gives us that

    What’s the deal with him? I don’t pay attention to college ball.

    you squint and see anunoby, right? he may actually compare favorably at the same stage of development.

    project, though--doesn't fill immediate need. but that's ok, i like a big swing, and this is one.

    I like it, he’s a player type we have been lacking, that sort of player Minny has multiples of, OKC has some shorter versions of. A project for sure, but the athletic potential is there.

    Love this pick. You’re getting a project player in the 2nd round, but he sounds like a really good defender and athlete. Huge upside.

    Basically everything you could want to know about him in this Floor and Ceiling scouting report

    Strongly recommend that read

    Mike had him 13th overall on his big board






    We're staying in the Klutch business

    This is where I think the Lakers need to put more time and money into an elite developmental squad.

    Ty Abbott was hired, and I googled to see who their shooting coach is, and it's Mike Penberthy?

    I think we need to start evaluating those roles. IMO.

    the athleticism is eye-popping.

    let's hire some more developmental guys and see what we can do here.

    i saw that a scouting report also mentioned anunoby as a ceiling. floor looks like maybe a david nwaba type?

    Seeing Theiro feels like we had regrets not choosing Whitmore 2 years ago lmao. But then we pick a player with a questionable jumper like JHS.

    Sounds like Vando may become expendable if he's a defensive force. If he can shoot then I guess he's like Jaden McDaniels.

    it'll be at least a year before thiero is playing much with the big squad, i'd guess. so vando is safe for now.
