He can shoot it well beyond the NBA 3pt line but I could not recall seeing much in between shot making especially off the dribble. He was my 6th choice. |

I would take Bolmaro, he has some Luka to his game. |

Draft and stash or bring him over?
If they use 28 I am leaning towards players who could play next year but a stash would be fine. |

A shooter who can play defense, or has the tools to play defense, will get minutes on a Frank Vogel team, especially if he's 6'3-6'5. Frank likes combo guards, that can shoot, But they must be able to defend.
THT will get minutes this coming season if he has improved his defense. So would a 28th pick, again, if they can defend. We should look at BPA, but our value on a player's potential should be very much equally distributed on his defensive potential.
You won't see a guy like Duncan Robinson get big minutes on a team like the Lakers tho, as good as Duncan is as a shooter. |

So basically, guys that would be Top 15 in a very weak draft. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I have him Top 25. Needs NBA strength, an idea on how to create an open look without being C&S, but for now plays like DeRozan without the shooting ability. He's like a weird, high motor, role playing version of Rubio. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

1. Nate Hinton
2. Xavier Tillman
3. Precious Achiuwa
4. Lamine Diane
5. Tre Jones
Consolation
Ty-Shon Alexander
Leandro Bolmaro
Ashton Hagans
Udoka Azubuike
Abdoulaye N'Doye |

I guess that was part of the point for me. If he's on the list, then, he's definitely worth the shot as a UDFA. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Thought for sure Vernon Carey Jr. would be a late lotto pick, but some sites has him potentially falling to the 2nd round. Center isn't a real need for the Lakers and biggest knock on VCJ is his athleticism and length. But, feels like he can take advantage of defenses if they switch shorter players onto bigs, can pick n roll to the rim, can navigate from the high post, be active on the glass, has good hands, and run in transition. Reminds me a bit of Carlos Boozer offensively, but potential to improve and get better on defense imo. I think VCJ gets selected before the Lakers are up, but if he's still available at 28, Lakers should consider going BPA. Even though ideally they should go for a wing or guard, but getting potentially a young starting center in the late first round imo wouldn't be a bad thing. |

Why would we want a small, unathletic C? _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

He isn't the best athlete, but is quick and agile for a big. He's skilled offensively and can do a bunch of things offensively with and without the ball in his hands, while he has potential to get better on the defensive end, as even showed some ability to switch onto the perimeter as well. If the Lakers had a 2nd round pick would be more ideal to take VCJ there than at 28, but think VCJ will be a much better player in the pro than most anticipate he will be. |

Thinking that, if we don't trade 28 and we basically keep our roster as it is, we will probably need a SF/PF that can shoot (especially if we try to sign a SF/PF 3rd string defender that can't really shoot, a la Harkless/RHJ). I've been high on Tillie as a guy that can hopefully impact soon as a shooter, solid athletically too
Needs defensive improvement, but I see him as a poor man's Gallo _________________ #18 next... |

He's actually one of the best defenders in the draft.
He just needs to stay healthy. He's definitely not Gallo though. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I'll put it this way. If he's healthy, I'd also have him Top 20.
But it wouldn't surprise me if a playoff team picked him up and limited his PT so he could get healthier. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Yeah I’m a big Tillie fan too. First round caliber skill level without question. I hope he can stay healthy. |

Yep, he already does what you want Kuzma to do at 4/3. I can easily imagine small ball lineups with Tillie and AD in the frontcourt and, it's totally switchable, with great verticality and rim protection.
I'm not sure he's ready for 24mpg at the NBA level, but man, if he could get through a playoff series healthy, that'd be a big deal. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

He’s not Gallo, but I can see the similarities. Tillie just has such a good IQ, unselfish, and can see the floor. He’s been a favorite of mine for the last year or so. Can’t remember, but iirc you mentioned him some time ago and got me initially interested. |
