Lakers 2022 Draft And UDFA Thread

Will definitely see our games in the summer league

 

cole looks like something between patty mills and jameer nelson in terms of playing style and size/build. i could see him doing well in summer league. pretty small for the nba without having blazing speed.

shareef just has to be a favor to dad.

i don't think pippen was a favor, but i'd have preferred we look at an athletic wing (which were available). upside is maybe like tyus jones? feel like we have a lot of developmental guards all of a sudden.

fabian white looks like a severely undersized center. his offensive game is a bit like a slower looney maybe? he's not as wide or as skilled, either. feel like trevion williams would be a similar guy with a better shot at playing in the league.

anyway, i'm not paid for this.

 

My expectations of undrafted guys is always low. We will see if one of them sticks. I like that we were able to get Swider who we clearly liked. There were some names I would’ve liked but the staff gets the benefit of the doubt from me given their overall track record.

 

yeah, you can't expect much from udfas, period. i've been spoiled by our recent successes.

 

Swish-der

 

Keep his mama away from LA

 

Mark Berman: Former @UHCougarMBK star Fabian White Jr (@3five_) says he’ll sign an exhibit-10 contract with the @Lakers & play for their Summer League team: “It means everything. All the work I’ve put in has paid off. (Dealing with) the torn ACL, all the sprints I had to run, it all paid off”

They say Swider weighs 225. I can't find his wingspan officially: I've seen 7'0" and 7'2".

He doesn't look like a bad athlete. Although, the scouting report says he just can't stay in front of anybody. His lateral speed might suck.

I'm trying to find out his standing reach.

 

I think Fabian will surprise us.

 

@Barnstable, is it possible to merge the draft thread and the UDFA thread together, please.

There's duplicate information going on in both threads. Maybe it will clean it up a bit.

Just a suggestion.

TY.

 

Glass half full guy here is feeling a bit with the draft and UDFAs. Another bunch of guards? Especially with buying the pick was hoping, and maybe they were targeting more too but didn’t fall far enough, some young size that could come in and help out at 3-4 or god forbid 5. And then the guy we do get sounds like at least a year away and while he may wind up a good defender and maybe decent from deep …. he’s going to need to alter his delivery first to be able to get the shots off faster.

Sure hope Jay Huff has somehow managed to grow himself physically strength and talent wise enough to be a contributor this year. Only big we have currently besides AD. We need depth in size again. We need #Himothy gone for some pieces like that. Would be nice to be able to somehow p/u the young Clippers center they’re going to lose but he’ll probably price out higher than we can afford. I don’t like being like this in the part of the season where like Baseball hope should be springing an inferno.

 

Thank you.

 

I'm hoping that our lack of movement for bigs somehow indicates some confidence in Huff but might just be wishful thinking. I know Fabian isn't tall but he does look strong and active. I know that isn't the kind of help we were hoping for.

 

saw the mavs picked up the big from michigan state. would have liked to see that kind of swing for us. likely nothing, but just for...you know... ma hopez.

 

We can make room on the second row for the coaches if you want, Pip.
