As many of you know the Lakers have the #19 pick and many draftboards have us drafting a forward. I'm thinking if the trade involving Brian Cook for Luther Head goes down (hping it does) then we would need a big to replace him even though Cook can't rebound. I like Jason Smith out of Colorado State http://youtube.com/watch?v=C7g95JFkIVI he reminds me of a poor man's Keith Van Horn/ a better version of Brian Cook without hte attitude or ego. I would ideally like for the Lakers to draft Josh McRoberts out of DUkE I don't think he got to show his game under Coach K. Is there any chance you think JOsh drops that far and if if he would fit in the triangle? I just hope we don't draft a guard we need size this time around.
Derrick Byars would be a great pick for you guys if he's still there at #19. He is a good defensive player that is a pretty good 3 point shooter. He would help take pressure off of Kobe at the other wing spot. He was the SEC POTY last year and is one of the most well balanced wings in this draft behind Corey Brewer.
