Simmons. The stats he put up as a frosh in college were better than some of the best NBA players, including Shaq at LSU. Folks are obsessed with his J. He knew his limitations, and chose to not take bad Js, when better shots were always available.

Hopefully his J scares the Sixers into taking Ingram to spread the floor for their three bigs who can't shoot outside of the paint.

In any event, I'm extremely relieved we kept the pick, and it was in the top two.

Drink up. A toast to the Lakers!
(Before we were happy to go deep in the playoffs, now we are happy to get a high pick. Times have changed)

I'm just happy #24 is gone.
We just need to sign 2 big free agents.

Probably won't happen but we can wish.

And although we can't "pick" Simmons or Ingram, I think either would be fine. The concerns about Simmons' jumpshot is legitimate in the current Curry-shot NBA and then with Ingram, there is worry about his body/strength but maybe he'll turn into a baby KD.

Celtics are looking good with #3 and their current young team.

Do you think Embiid will play next season?
 
If Embiid does not pan out and gets released/becomes free agent, Lakers can add him to their latest big man reclamation project, following the tradition of Samaki Walker, Kwame Brown, Jordan Hill and Roy Hibbert

Ha!
 
The Sixers will have to trade something.. can't be playing all those big guys.  Interesting  how much lottery talent they have and they still are able to tank.

Noel is the best on their roster.

They just don't play them or trade them away for more picks.

And since the NBA is running small ball now, those bigs have less impact on the game. It's a good thing the Lakers didn't pick Okafor (although some still think Porzingas is better than DRuss).

There is no doubt the Zinger is better than Russell.
