[KRIT]

He will be a bust....

[Cuse0323]

Don't like his game but damn.

[THam12]

He has major game...
Lengthy, slashes, has a great stroke, athletic as ever...

[NardVa]

There are a bunch of ball players that can jump out of the gym. Remember Gerald Green, Jason Richardson etc. He can probably play on the NBA level and maybe win a few dunk contest before he becomes a journey Man.

[d2bets]

If he gets to the right team, has the right attitude, good coaching, its the weight room -- he could be special. He's an athlete, but he also has some skills and can shoot and has the right height for a shooting guard. He needs some work, but in a few years could be very very good. Someone will take a chance on him in that 12-20 range.

[Bostongambler]

Good for him. Doesn't mean he can play at this level however.

[Chi_archie]

why is he a lakers prospect?

[crustyme]

lakers are trying to win the championship, not the dunk contest.

they need randle.

[Cuse0323]

why is he a lakers prospect?

His 46 inch vertical just took place at pre-draft workout in LA....wouldn't say he's a Lakers prospect.

[LT Profits]

why is he a lakers prospect?

He was working out for the Lakers when he did this. They have 17th (?) pick.

Right, bad phraseology on my part.

[Cuse0323]

Right, bad phraseology on my part.

No worries, they have the 7th pick...it would be a stretch but he's moving up the charts and they're obviously taking a look at him.

[The Giant]

Impressive. How high did Wiggins jump?

Tyrus Thomas, Harold Miner, etc, etc.

[LT Profits]

44". Read the article in link below the pic.

[ChalkyDog]

That vert is ridiculous. Levine is a big questionmark. Can be a bust as easily as a quality player. Not worth anything near the lakers pick.

[Jatt24]

Thats Impressive.

[crustyme]

just another shannon brown, who has 44.5".

[The Giant]

Any chance he falls to #7?

[Cuse0323]

Any chance he falls to #7?

Seems like it based on the mock drafts. Top 4 seems set then Vonleh/Gordon/Smart could be ahead of him.

[Robber]

Is that a record? Stupendous

[The Giant]

Yeah, you're right. I hadn't checked any mock drafts recently, but it looks like he will be there and available. I just read a mock draft that had the Lakers skipping on Randle and taking Marcus Smart.

think everyone would be happy if were as good as j-rich. gerald green nowhere near a j-rich.

[Grits n' Gravy]

He's going top 10 based on raw athleticism. Can handle the ball but didn't show much freshman year. Will need time to develop and if he is mentally weak, the Lakers are a bad fit. Kobe could break him.

[johnbaek]

kobe aint got time to let him develop

[k13]

Must not be at the real combine and obviously running.

[opie1988]

That pic is flat crazy.

[LT Profits]

Must not be at the real combine and obviously running.

Took three steps, so not like a flat out sprint and leap

[LT Profits]

No worries, they have the 7th pick...it would be a stretch but he's moving up the charts and they're obviously taking a look at him.

Yeah, 7 is way too high. But then again, I think the Lakers only have one pick in the first two rounds, so who knows what they're thinking

[LT Profits]

Is that a record? Stupendous

Unofficially yes. Article in link says Wiggins had record at 44"

[LT Profits]

just another shannon brown, who has 44.5".

44.5" with a running start.

[jjgold]

That stuff does not equate to being a good player

It's all flash and is probably a good practice player

[Wulfman14]

yep still need to be able to shoot the ball
