Honestly, there's no reason everyone in the top 4 can't get who they want (for the most part). What blows is the fact that the Lakeshow has the second pic but will probably be the only team that doesn't get there top choice:mjcry:. I'm assuming Towns is number 1 on the laker board. If Minnesota gets towns (first choice), LA will get Mudiay (second choice), sixers will get Russell (first choice) and Knicks will get okafor (first choice)


It's either Russell or Okafor. I don't know why people keep project Mudlay to the lakers.

He's a undersized 4 with a sf body, he will be a bust just face the facts .
So was Charles Barkley...sometimes players are just naturally gifted at playing basketball and Julius has been that way his entire career so far. Hard to take what you're saying seriously when you're not providing any insight. Saying someone will be a bust just cause they dont have a long wingspan is laughable and is one of the most washed up narratives in sports...remember when Draymond Green didn't have a position in the league?..Paul Millsap.?

lavine, while not being as strong, may already be as athletic if not more. Certainly at 19/20, he's more athletic than russ was at the same age.
He jumps high, sure, but I've never seen him display a consistent, killer first step the likes of Russ

he's as fast, jumps higher, taller/longer, first step isn't slow by any means either. Biggest thing is just his strength which will come with time.

Mudiay is a guard who cant shoot though, thats a massive red flag, no?
it would be if I didnt see the improvements from Wall, Rose, and Westbrook. A shot can easily be developed. I mean hell, J. Kidd developed a 3-point ball at 37. The only guy that comes to mind who just didnt improve was Rondo, but I think thats due to his freakishly big hands and refusal to change his shooting form.
