This Dude Zach Lavine Should be a Top 5 Pick

LaVine does not have a better jumper than Gerald Green at the same age

Green was borderline retarded though

I think a better comparison than Green would be Terrence Ross, super athletic, but can't finish at the rim and relies on his jumper. I think LaVine has a better base for his handle though, Ross got a terrible dribble.

 

[Serious]

Seems like he's a gym rat....




He'll be a top 10 pick by the end of the year, and probably a top 5 pick when teams get him in for workouts.

Looks better than Anthony Bennet's tape....

Good form and everything.

Solid comp. If I'm late lottery I take him but that handle + his slight frame is going to determine how far he goes. He also needs to improve decision making...

I saw Green play against SOC back in 04 or 05

Gerald Green was literally looking like a TMac clone

crossing over nikkas
dunking on nikkas
ran baseline caught the pass behind the three point, just splash even with a hand in his face


shyt had me like as a kid, dude just wasn't about the business of basketball then

Yeah I'm 5'11, 185--this kid just needs to add about ten more pounds and he'll be straight on the driving angle.

It's going to take a lot of work in the weight room and reps, he's got potential but he'll need to put in the work.

He's going to need to gain weight big time, he had a lot of trouble finishing at the rim in college because he couldn't absorb contact.

He's a project, but if a team is patient enough and it's the right situation he could end up a star.

You think Kobe could give him the game? Is his mental on that kinda level?

idol is Kobe, models his game after Russ, Steph, and Jamal Crawford. I think he'll be fine. Lakers would be idiots to pass him up at 7.

check the vid above. says his idol is Kobe. if we can get him to LA, Kobe'll have this nikka as a all-star in 2 years.

Based off his height and athleticism, he kind of reminds me of Shaun Livingston going into the '04 draft. Only difference is Lavine's jumper is much better than Livingston's.

Lavine is much more athletic, much more of a scorer's mentality.

Exum is probably more comparable to Livingston.

Looks like he can dribble and shoot to me, brehs What if he turns into an athletic steph curry type?

 

[IGSaint12]

I like him as a better prospect than gordan and I would chose him over randle with 7th pick.
