    Brandon Ingram

    Lakers will end up with him. Is he good? I don't like fragile players. He says he wants to be like Durant. He seems well spoken and he is from Duke but I think for us Lakers fans it's not a great pick at 2 spot.

    Who else would you pick? From what I have seen of this kid he is legit.

    Can the Lakers trade this pick and move down in the draft since the pick was already traded? I almost think they should trade down, take Buddy Hield, and get another late 1st/early second round pick.

    Why the hell would Lebron go to the Lakers when he is basically a legend in Cle with a young Kyrie who now has playoff experience of hitting big shots..

    BTW, he confirmed today that he isn't going anywhere..

    Side note, I agree..Ingram is going to be legit

    Skinny as a rail but he can flat out play. He'll have trouble adjusting playing against bigger stronger players but he'll be a guy who scores 20 a night pretty easily.

    That mongoloid SAS claims that he and KD have talked about and are seriously considering coming here in 2018. I would legit become a Sacramento fan or something if that happened which it obv won't.

    Yeah, kind of disappointing that there's no clear cut dominant player to draft. I'm ok with it though. At least we kept the pick. I think Ingram has a huge upside and fits with what the Lakers need. He works with the style Luke will try and play.

    Just don't think there is any standouts in this draft. So many people not staying a few years in college makes the draft more like a lottery espically in these higher picks

    CORRECTION: What Smith actually said was he's been told (he never divulged sources) that Durant is considering LA but that KD's camp has denied it. Never said he talked to KD directly about it.

    I know everybody likes to bash Stephen A, but we need to correctly state what the guy actually said before going off and bashing him.

    Kid can play. His body will develop a bit over the next few years but he has the skill set you want in a wing player. LA will definitely be in the running for Lebron and Durant.

    LeBron can't just up and bounce from Cleveland right away but it will happen. Did anyone expect him to say he wanted to leave Cavs less than 72 hrs after winning a title? He said that he wants to stay in Cleveland long term but he didn't say that he will stay and he has a team that handles contracts. Read between the lines. Another year in Cleveland is likely. After that........peace out.

    I think he has potential to be a 25+ ppg guy. Length is unreal and will make him a decent defender off the bat. Has all of the skills and body requirements to be great in NBA. Already a good shooter too. All he has to do is get in the gym and put on some muscle, something he shouldn't have trouble doing on an NBA training regimen. I personally think he will be better than Simmons long term but I am not an NBA scout.

    As his game develops I think he could be a killer. Can shoot over anyone.

    The analytic people think he's going to be the best player in the draft.

    Hard to gauge what's inside a guy though. Judging players is an inexact science. Maybe he'll be the next Durant, maybe he'll be the next Michael Beasley.

    Kid's about the same size as Tayshaun Prince was coming out of college.
    He could have similar success.

    Bust. Great shooter though. Would take Dunn over him. Ingram will stand behind the arc, IMO. Which is fine because he can be a great shooter, but would never take him 2nd as I sit on my couch. Gonna get eaten alive trying anything but jumpers. Not the worst thing in the world. Defense will be iffy as well. Basically, I see him as a three point and midrange shooter who won't attack the rim with much success, or defend his position well. Love the comments that his body needs to develop. Usually means he won't live up to potential.

    really like Ingram

    needs to add strength but has a pure shot, elite length/wingspan, good defender and has a really good head on his shoulders
