    Luke Walton going in this years draft? I've heard hype about him in the tourney, but now its a few weeks before the draft, and Luke Walton seems to be no where found. He isnt on NBADraft.net anymore either. Thanks.

    Yeah, injury really ruined him. He was considered one of the best players coming in but not anymore. I don't think he will last in the NBA.

    Yeah, late second round he could end up to be a steal. People compare him to Scottie Pippen. A real poor man's Scottie Pippen. Does alot of the little things well. Passing, playing defense. He isn't as athletic or as quick, or fast as Scottie. Not a great jump shooter. I don't see him making an impact, atleast not for a couple of years.

    I think Bell will be drafted in the 2nd round. That would be crazy for the Big East player of the Year (it should have been Carmelo) to go undrafted though. But right now, he is a late 2nd rounder, so there is always the posibility.

    I think the Lakers will take a strong look at Walton and Bell. Walton is a smart player and knows how to play, and that is exactly what PJ likes. He won't have many minutes behind George & Fox, but the Lakers can develop him slowly to be the eventual backup to George, after Fox retires. Bill Walton has strong ties in the Los Angeles & San Diego area, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers or Clippers end up with the little red head.

    noo. that'd only make bill love the lakers even more. he'd say "throw it down, son, throw it down!" i'm convinced that makes him excited. :roll:
