Draft Thread 2018: LA Has The #25 & #47 Overall Picks... And #39 Now

I'd be good with that. I have to redo my mock now with the Combine out.

I think Khyri has a good shot at getting picked right before us, but if he's on the board it'd be a good pick.

 

Two articles on Chandler Hutchison who I'm a huge proponent of us drafting at #25 if he's still around

 

Great Breakdown with clips. It'd be really nice to give our team, Lonzo a Redick or Korver type shooter. Kevin can also put it on the floor and displays at time and nice passing game. I liked his mesasurements too:

 

You sold me. KH is officially my pet cat for this draft. Gimme!

 

I don't know if he's my top guy but he's certainly in my short list of guys:

In no particular order: Chandler Hutchison, Donte Divincenzo, Kevin Huerter

 

Grayson Allen- PG/SG, 6'4", Duke. We all know Grayson. He has NBA talent, but his maturation process has been... mixed. He is a still a solid shooter and a decent defender. His ability to set up teammates improved his senior season. He tested very well athletically, among the Top 6 or so in just about every category besides the 3/4 sprint. We've seen him for 4 years in college and I think it's safe to say he has NBA talent... Does he have an NBA mindset? That's a totally different story.



Allerick Freeman- PG/SG, 6'3", NC State. Allerick is a strong built kid who played 3 years at Baylor before graduating and being forced to transfer to NC State to keep playing ball. He isn't particularly efficient as a scorer, but shows promise shooting from outside. You can see in the clip he's got a natural game to him, but clearly doesn't always show the type of focus you need to excel at the next level.




Arnoldas Kulboka- ???

I know nothing about this kid. The first video is of him in the U19 tournament in Europe. To be honest I like some of the skills I'm seeing. He's shown a little bit of ability to hit shots off the dribble mid-range. Spot up from the corners. His FG% was dreadful (36.6%) in the Lega Basket League, but he shot well outside (36.7%) and he's still only about 20 years old. An interesting player.

 

Matur Maker- 6'10" G/F, Prep School. The brother of draft phenom Thon Maker went the same route as his brother and skipped college to dominate kid smaller than him. He looks even older than Thon did. He looks better than his brother in terms of basketball skills, but his body is still ungainly and a work in progress. His length is impressive. He shows some ball skills for a big prospect. This is the definition of a project, but I thought the same of Thon and he went in the lottery so.



Bryant McIntosh- 6'3", PG, Northwestern. He's a 4-year senior. He doesn't have a ton of videos of himself. Not a particularly great shooter, didn't improve dramatically in school statistically, and on the small side. Not to be influenced by skin color in comparisons, but he reminds of a TJ McConnell. A gamer with limited talent.



Kevin Huerter- 6'6", SG/SF, Maryland. He's got "in the gym" range and showed it at the Combine. He was one of the best tested shooters from NBA range. He tested consistently better going right than left for what it's worth. He played in only one game at the Combine where he shot just 3/9 and 2/7 from deep, but the fact that he pulled himself from the 2nd game is a solid indication he might have a promise. His jumper form looks to me like a carbon copy version of Klay Thompson's and he's got the confidence to jack that shot up from anywhere.

 

He's got other skills than just a stand still shooter. If that's all he was I wouldn't be interested at all and neither would a lot of known Lakers fans on twitter that have a voice, eye for this stuff

 

F*** Grayson Allen. He peaked as a freshman in 1 game and never lived up to hype after that. We don’t need a whiny little crybaby here that likes tripping opponents.
