Lakers drafted Horton Tucker last year with 46th pick. He’s legit. Lakers got a steal


Bol Bol also appears legit.

Reminder that we passed on both and drafted Carson Edwards. Lol

Lakers have drafted outstanding outside the top 10. Their top picks were ok maybe fair. We are the opposite lol

Talk about a preseason overreaction.

I seriously doubt that Horton-Tucker sees much playing time on that Lakers team as they already have a tremendously strong 10 man rotation:

Lebron
Davis
Gasol
Harrell
Morris
Schoeder
Caruso
Caldwell-Pope
Kuzma
Matthews

Horton-Tucker will see a bunch of garbage time minutes but I don't see how he breaks that rotation. People read way too much from preseason success.

Yeah, the LA media is selling him like crazy, but he's an average bench player and a gunner who likely will only see garbage minutes for the next few years. He's better than Edwards, sure. But other guys we drafted are likely better than him, like Grant Williams, Rob Williams and Langford.


Bol Bol does look legit but still needs a few years of development.

He looks good

But... too early to declare him as the next short Leonard

What exactly has he done? Score well in the preseason?

Cedi Osman has been scoring more than Doncic & Durant - is he all of a sudden an All-Star? What about Max Strus? After all, he’s scoring more than Harden.

Preseason overreactions are silly
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Ugh. Carsen Edwards becoming another James Young
I think he is much much worse. Young actually had me tricked for as long as a couple years because he would show glimpses, plus he had the length of a solid SG

Young didnt show anything at all. All the hope that he would be better was his age and size. Carsen has neither so it was rrally up to his performance
