06 DRAFT

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT JOAHKIM NOAH?
SHOULD HE ENTER THE DRAFT?
WHAT PICK WOULD HE BE?

I say he should stay till next year. I say let him develop an offensive game and let him hit the weight room becuase for a PF he looks kinda skinny.

If he comes out this year at worst case top 5 in best case he could be number 1.

fix your capslock there, batman.

he'll be in the top 5 if he goes this year or next year. if he wants to be number 1, it might be hard to top greg oden if he decides to declare next year.

he should go this year because his stock is pretty damn high.

I think he should stay another year..but w/ his athletecism and seeming desire to get better, i don't think it would be too much of a problem if he does declare

his freakishly long arms that get all those blocks and his playmakign ability remind me a bit of AK47.

His stock won't be any higher IMO so it could be a good decision to go now.

DO IT MITCH

Josh Boone is extremely overrated. The man is offensively challenged.

nbadraft.net has noah going second if he enters the draft and the lakers picking boone with the 26th pick

Josh Boone is extremely overrated. The man is offensively challenged.

Based on his nbadraft analysis I'd take his rebounding and D over a guy like Cook who only gives offense.

Long, explosive bigman ... Blue collar guy, does the dirty work to help his team win ... Has a great attitude, plays hard, wants to improve ... Strong defensively ... Explosive leaper, with good timing and instincts on blocked shots ... Giant wingspan gives him added size ... Fights hard for rebounds, hustles for loose balls ... Big strong hands, when he gets his hands on a rebound it's his ... Has a big, strong frame and should be able to add another 5-10 pounds without losing much mobility ... Should be able to see time at the center position in the NBA ... Runs the floor very well, excellent transition game ... Good vision and passing ability ... Scores well around the basket ... Has a nice turnaround jump hook ... Knows his limitations offensively and plays to his strengths ... Has excellent durability having missed just one game in his college career ... Quick feet, very nimble for his size ...

dude we could take any scrub from the D league to play better D than cook.

Josh Boone is Lamar Odom part 2. I don't even think he likes playing basketball.

I'll take a lamar odom if he slipped to pick 25-27 anyday

Please do not draft anyone from UCONN other than Rudy Gay or Marcus Williams.

I'd pick Marcus Williams. We need a PG desperately.

i'd love JJ reddick in a lakers uniform...

he'll never become a star but...
we need a consistant confident trigger happy spot up/3pt shooter(steve kerr) for the triangle

although J.J. has slipped... i'm guessing he isn't going to slip all the way to us...

if we can't get reddick through the draft... i'd love for us to trade for him or trade up for him...

or trade for salim stoudemire i heard salim isn't gelling well in ATL... didn't he hit his coach or something our players are soft... we need a son of a ^&*# player on the lakers... i'd welcome that son of a %^&( anyday!!! HAHA

I hope you're a Utah Jazz fan. He's going to Mormonville.

i want the Lakers to draft Allan Ray or Randy Foye

I agree with the Reddick pick but as for Salim Stoudemire, I don't want anyone, no matter how good they are to ruin the chemistry of this ball club.

You're right, unless we can snag someone like Noah, which is obviously impossible, I say we go for a point guard or good shooter. Someone who can hit shots consistantly off the bench would be gold for the Lakers. That's why so many of us pondered having Kareem Rush back. Reddick would be an absolute perfect fit. A spark off the bench, a flawless outside shooter, not to mention someone else who actually wants to shoot besides Kobe.

The idea of getting Reddick is damn near impossible. But we can snag someone like Marcus Williams, who's stock has dropped after some off court issues...

Most realistically, I think it would help the Lakers if they got a Hassan Adams (Someone with long arms, good D, aggressiveness and athletism), Daniel Gibson (who could be a pleasant surprise like Daniel Ewing and originally projected at lottery), Rudy Fernandez (An energy player with good athletism), Mike Gansey (another energy player with good defense and above average stroke) and Dee Brown (a quick point guard that just plain brings passion and energy to a young team).

Some big men available for us: Kevin Pittsnogle. The guy to me could be a very good player. A poor man's Tim Duncan or PJ Brown. Granted his post skills continue to develop (and he's got the ability to do so), he can be better than expected. And others that I just don't feel like mentioning...

The lakers need someone like Guillermo Diaz

Why? The guy will be another Von Wafer.

He's better than wafer, wafer sux

I am not a big follower of college b-ball but, if he is a LO I take him in a heartbeat at pick 26.
