They should have compared him to Kemba Walker or Damian Lillard Honestly

[@bradley256]

Garang Akuar they said physical Kemba walker is about 3 inches shorter

[@njshabangu]

The Damian lillard comparison is accurate.

[@kdogg257]

It was only about height, weight, and wingspan. Not actual play style and abilities. Same height as Steph, 6 pounds lighter than him, and and inch and a half wingspan difference. So he closest relates to Steph in those regards.

If we were to get him he'd definitely be hidden. Just depends how how good our team d is next year. Personally I would mind bringing zach to the point and drafting a 2/3. I believe it'd help us by making no body be a focus on offense and just be a team playing team basketball on O and D

Rather trade that pick for Bradley Beal. Beal is a proven player and is only 25. I am done taking risks on drafting rookies when we have a chance of getting an all star. If we get Beal we don’t have to get rid of lo zo since Beal plays the true shooting guard.

[@marcusgarvey6231]

He's going at four for certain. Punish Phoenix for not drafting Doncic last year. He'll light a fire under Ball for sure. Kidd will make a great mentor for these two young guards.

[@pelicanswillrise3321]

I like Garland a lot. He doesn't appear to be as quick as Morant but he's a better shooter in a small sample size of 5 college games. The Lakers can use an outside shooter but will he be able to immediately impact the team on offense and defense? The Lakers major issue after Zo got hurt was the poor defense. BI and Kuz could score with Lebron, but they lacked the defensive intensity necessary to win. If Zo is traded and Garland is the starting point guard, will a line up with Garland be effective on the defensive end since he is undersized at 6'2 and 175lbs? Zo came in thin at 6'6 and 190lbs and that's the reason he suffered injuries. Both Zo and Garland have had torn meniscus. Garland is coming into the league with this surgery before playing 1 NBA game. Since he is coming into the NBA, still undersized, will this knee injury present a problem for a 82 game season? Unless they plan on trading Garland, these are the questions the Lakers organization need to be asking? Will Garland be able to hold up in an 82 game season when we've already experienced Zo missing NBA games last year with a similar injury?
