They will stash White in Europe to see if he develops a three point shot, nothing more than that.
Maybe he takes the girlfriend and he doesn't have to worry about that Goober McCabe in Europe.:twitcy:
Can't say I loved the Pacers pick of Myles Turner at #11 overall. I was really hoping that Cauley-Stein or Winslow would slip to them. Turner has nice size and skills, but I watched several of his games at Texas. He seems like he might be kind of soft or in love with the three point line, or both. Hope I'm wrong.
I love the lakers taking Russell number 2. This tells me they expect to get a FA big man. This could be Love, Aldridge, D. Jordan, Gasol ect. I would put my guess at either Aldridge or Jordan. I am very excited at the future lineup. Clarkson (all rookie 1st team PG that is a combo guard. Russell (kobe in 2016) who can also play either position. Wes Johnson who is decent but the lakers EXPECT to get Durant once kobe is off the books. Randall who is blowing minds around the league this offseason. Turned into a karl Malone type mid range shooter. Guy balls out. and then whatever 4/5 we pick up with T Black and Hill backing them up.
Russell is the guy I had pegged as the most upside in the draft, I really see the potential for a future headlining star at whatever team he ended up on. However he played for the big10 and so I kinda wanted to not like him. I couldn't be happier.

I think he could grow into a good player, but right now he's really slight and soft.
He has a lot of growing to do. Nothing I see says NBA about him other than size. I do however like that they asked why didn't you start at Texas and he said "because I wasn't good enough". At least he's honest.
Isn't the Rumor on Durant that he will go to Washington his hometown? I've heard of Westbrook to LA but not Durant.
Also where the heck are you hearing these positive rumors about Randle?
I would say it will be either Washington or LA. I think Washington is a very good team imo so I think its probably a slight lean that way. But who knows, the lakers a hard to pass up imo.
The Randle talk is just all over twitter. Follow a lot of NBA journalists and laker writers. They post a lot of quotes about what he has done over the past year. With this whole Kings deal, a source quoted Divac with saying that he is a future Chris Webber and others state if the draft was now, he would be the #1 pick easily. Evryone that watches him workout is amazed at his jumper. IDK, maybe he wont, but it is rumored that the lakers would absolutely not give up randall for cousins and that they consider him the future franchise player.
interesting... With the way Wiggins finished the year I really doubt that an undersized 4 with no right hand would be picked over him.
Pretty sure the rumor is they wouldn't give up the 2 pick and Randle for Cousins. If they turned down a randle for cousins trade straight up they're morons.
