Do you think deep down Laker Nation always wanted Russell?

That roar was kinda the opposite of what I expected if we picked anyone over Jahlil. :lol

[COnDEMnED]

No. :(

[Knicksfever2010]

Amazing how Lakers always get what they want. They lead a charmed life. I'm surprised Lebron didnt pick them in 2010

[no pun intended]

I know I did.

[Combat Wombat]

Was happy with either of them. Keen to see how Russell and Randle play together.

[RRR3]

Alreadyd had nice pg in clarkson. Should have taken okafor.


Winslow>>>>russell

[gts]

I was on the fence mostly, would have been fine with either one.. each has his strengths and each fills a void in the lakers roster so it's not like you're going to go wrong if they live up to the hype

[warriorfan]

Yes, you guys dodged the pudgy beta.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Hell yea, baby!! :rockon:

[Mr. Jabbar]

Yes. U always go for the guy with the bigger di.ck

[hawke812]

Best player in the draft. Alpha as f*ck:confusedshrug:

[bigkingsfan]

Lin is better.

[gts]

Lin is better.Perfect for you then, Kings can sign him because he won't be playing for the Lakers next season

[oh the horror]

And good riddance. That kid is easily shook right out of his sneakers.

Russell's gonna be a stud, 25/5/5 for the next 15 years with 40% 3 point shooting. his defense will be average to below average but if you pair him with a good perimeter defender and a shot blocker the team will be good defensively.

[oh the horror]

When you think about lakers legendary bigs, how many of them did they draft?


Lakers are going to gun for a big via free agency whom is already established. Now if this kid at the point pans out ? This is a great pickup.
