He's gotten comparisons to Russell Westbrook and could get immediate playing time if Bradley leaves. I'd rather draft him with 6th than Smart or Gordon...

Not wasting a 6th on Lavine. No way.

I'd be pretty stoked to grab him at 17, as long as TJ Warren isn't still there.

Seriously I've been reading this scouting report and how is he not a top 5 pick? Says he is super explosive, great at creating his own shot, and a great jumpshooter. Good size at 6'6...

Am I missing something? Says he is a meh defender and struggles with contact, but this is the nba if theres contact he'll just go to the line.

Maybe not at 6, but could we trade back a couple spots for him? People are so enamored with Aaron Gordon here and all he does is run the floor, dunk, and play good defense. Gordon has no jumpshot and shoots 42% from the line so...yeah...

What does Lavine do? Dunk?

Marcus Smart is pretty much better than him at every aspect, besides maybe shooting.

He kind of reminds me of Gerald Green.

Im not sure why to take him at 6th when you probably could have him around 17. Draft Express has us picking him there, and thats about right.

Im still hopping Hood drops to us. Warren would be nice, but I think Hood could play the 2 guard as well.

except he is smaller and im tired of us rolling out midgets at the guard position. Lavine shoots better and creates his own shot better. If i wanted a fiery short guard with good defense id resign bradley.

Also has a mock draft ever been right? After a couple picks they almost always fall apart. Lavine could go at 9 for all anyone knows. Randle could fall to 11 for all anyone knows.

Part of me wants to draft Gordon at 6 and LaVine at 17 ( or trade into 11-14 area and get him) because they are the best athletes.  Maybe they can become better players.

On the other hand, we have tried that with Kedrick Brown, Gerald Green, etc...  I don't want to be looking back 5 years from now and reading how dumb we were for passing in Doug McDermott or Nick Stauskis or whoever

Lavine at number 6? Come on now, I thought this was supposed to be a deep draft.

He is questionable even at 17.

All you need is Love!!! Get it done, Danny.

He measured 6'6 at the combine so size isn't an issue.

I'm really big on Zach but #6 is too high. Moving back or hoping he falls the #17 and I'd be excited.

Kid will be a lottery pick for sure. Elite athleticism, terrific form on his shot, and he's got great size to play PG/SG. He's a project in the sense that I absolutely wouldn't expect him to start his rookie year but he's only 19.

Pretty much just the fact that he wasn't very good in college. People tend to take that seriously.
