Zach LaVine

[TheTruthFot18]

I haven't seen a thread about him (just posts) but I'm liking what I see.

My reason for looking into him more is if we 1. fall out of the top 3 pick (and still keep it) and 2. If Smart/Exum/Randle slide down or too risky. Assuming AB is traded or walks our needs are SG and C. I think it'll be easier getting a center here via free agency than a sg. This years sg free agents is weak less hayward.

He has pg instinct but can shoot (opposite of AB) but can still defend and is also extremely athletic. NBAdraft has updated their nba comparison for prospects and LaVine go Westbrook. A stretch but in terms of his strengths I think it's accurate plus he can be a sg with 2 inches on Westbrook.

So going on the assumptions above would you take LaVine at 4,5,6 over those other guys?

I like Exum and would be happy with him but I fear he'll be AB plus 5 inches. Plus he seems more PG oriented than SG.

The mocks I've been looking at have had him slip into the teens. If we can get him with our second pick and decide not to I'm going to throw a chair through my tv on draft night.

sick hops and dunks.  would love him with a teens area pick.
is he a pg or a sg though.  can he put it all together or will he be the next Gerald green.
