The Lakers ranked 24th in offREB% last season. This is how Kessler and Looney have ranked in this area compared to other bigs in their careers. Pretty clear point of emphasis.

If LAL buys a pick, this is a list of players I'm looking at. I still think Veesaar and Evans are 1st round ranks. It's really clear the players that need to bulk up a bit, all slipped in the draft.

Top tier athlete just like Theiro. Great elevation on 3s, some pull up 3pt shooting. Basically shut it down during the combine because he was on fire. Top tier elevation finisher and a lob threat at SG. Assuming he's kept ofc.

A lot had changed in 1 month. But fwiw, I want the Lakers to target Montiejus Krivas from the University of Arizona.

Guys I'm waiting for the NBA draft early this season: Cameron Carr - Baylor Joshua Jefferson - Iowa St. Killyan Toure - Iowa St. I expect Carr and Jefferson to blow past the Laker 1st, which leaves Killyan Toure. Others: Johann Grunloh Dailyn Swain

Just happy that Adou Theiro is being a productive NBA player, especially coming off of knee injury. I don't think he's lost at all, and the defensive playmaking stands out every time, even in limited minutes.

after seeing adou thiero play at south bay last night, i thought it would be fun to clip the first time pete & darius talked about adou — right before the 2nd round of the nba draft, notably, the top defensive wing on @canyondriver.bsky.social 's board at that point.

Sad to see it go this way. Not that I know the inner workings of the organization, but I at least felt reinvigorated about the scouting department since the beginning of their tenure.

Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball played 26-games together for the Chicago Bulls When they were on the court together, the Bulls had a defensive rating of 104.8 and turned opponents over on 17.4% of their possessions while sparking great transition offense. Remembering the “Lockdown Brothers”
