Doesn't look like the best immediate fit. I was expecting we wouldn't pick this high unless we really liked someone. Trusting our scouting department if there's no trade lined up Whitemore dropping so much is crazy
I don’t really follow college basketball and haven’t done any scouting personally, so I’m just going to trust our FO/scouts
what dean-jello? This guy actually plays defense and has some size, he will get bigger as he gets older. Lakers are lacking players meat on their bones on the perimeter. He will excel in the style of ball of the nba , it's a pick and roll league, he has more Reaves than Russell.
He's supposed to be a good defender unlike DAR. Organization like guys with size who can playmake and defend. Another Reaves? Reaves 3pt numbers weren't great in college either I would have taken a chance on Whitmore with that athleticism but got to give the Buss guys the benefit of the doubt.
