    So according to the ringers Kevin o’connor, the lakers wanted Simons and would’ve drafted him at 25.

    I know next to nothing about Simons other than what I've read over the past week and seen this evening in skimming through his underwhelming pro day video, but I can't help but feeling, if you swapped the hype train of he and Fultz, the two players would be indistinguishable. Granted, I hated Fultz as a high lottery pick, but as a #24? That's a no-brainer.

    Yes, at least one mock predicted the Lakers #25 for him. The Lakers are developing from a sub-.500 level and can wait years on high schoolers. As Olshey said in recent days, we need experience to bust to the top, now.

    Kid is quick! What I liked (besides his shooting) was his demeanor. All business. Like Dame.

    So, which player would you have taken with the 24th pick that would have had the immediate impact necessary to propel us ahead of GSW and HOU.

    Fultz is much stronger, craftier, and has better footwork. I do see the similarities though.

    I'm way more stoked than I thought I'd be before we picked...Trent was a surprise but one I also really like...Simons upside is looking pretty good
