I'm liking Zach Lavine.


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

If his game ever matches his athleticism, he will be the next Kobe Bryant.

That kid is athletic as hell.

I'm not sure hes Kobe. He's projected to be a PG in the NBA and is being compared to Westbrook, but I just don't agree. I think he's best fit as a SG. Kinda remind me of Kevin Martin, but an extremely more athletic and better all around player than Martin.

I wasn't comparing his game to Kobe, I was complimenting how athletic he is by saying that if his game ever reached the level his athleticism is at then he would be a superstar.

He set the vertical jump record at the Lakers workout... 46 fuging inches lol

I know that. Thats fuggn crazy!!!

But, he just reminds me a bit of Martin. And that should be taken as a compliment. Lavine with bigger upside tho.

I didn't watch many UCLA games but in the games I did watch, he wasn't near as noticeable as Kyle Anderson.

His game is so intriguing. He could be what Shaun Livingston was supposed to be before he got hurt.

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
