De'Andre Hunter - 2019 NBA Draft Prospect

[NickiRasgo]

How does that help the later LeBron years? They proved last year that even a group of decent younger players won't be enough support to get 'Bron into the playoffs. DD may be better than anyone they can get to sign there. Throw in a youngster or two, and it's a boat race.

I don't think LeBron still the circle of attention in LA in recent news on them - Walton and Magic's departure, signing Vogel over Lue (against LeBron's preference), LeBron being in trade rumors (might be take a grain of salt but still...). I won't be surprised if they have another plan to go being youth again instead of going after stars. This off-season will dictate their future's plan but I gotta admit that their 4th pick is big. I'm really upset when they got it.

[NickiRasgo]

I've only watched his highlights but how is he in the actual game? The first player that he reminded of is Harrison Barnes not Kawhi Leonard but that's just me.

[kobyz]

He's probably going #4 and no way Lakers ever deal with us...

You're only going to end up keeping at most two of those guys anyway. May as well trade the one you think will be the worst. Murray has more upside than White, but he's also up for a big money sooner. Lonnie has it over both of them, but I guess if you don't think he will be healthy enough to get close to his ceiling, you may as well strike while he has value.

So many don't seem to get this. If these 3 all become solid, starting caliber players or more, then an eventual decision will have to be made anyway. Sure, they can play together in spurts, but not as a constant.

Obviously, they don't have to expedite this, but the roster makes no sense anyway. If they could kill 2 birds with 1 stone, they absolutely should.

Keeping Walker is a no brainer. He's got the highest ceiling, is the only one with the rough outline of go-to scoring ability and is a more natural SG/wing. You can debate Murray/White. I prefer the latter, but if you think they're close enough, it shouldn't matter that much.

I really like this prospect, but have resigned myself to the fact that he will be long gone by 19

[Mugen]

Think there's a typo, I didn't see "needs a year in Austin to get over himself and learn culture" tbh

[slick'81]

Never get a high enough pick for this stud

You really can't tbh.

Damn mugen really going in tonight. Kawhi has him throwing fits at the keyboard like a 15 year old girl tbh

Who are you again?

You really can't tbh.

The funny thing is that I don't know which "side" you're on in that debate.

I'm on the Pau side.

No idea you spoke Spanish

I meant long term. I'd still take White, but it's not like it's out of the realm of possibilities that Murray ends up better.

So are we going to get this guy or what?

[Dennis the Menace]

Trade Demar, 19, 29, whatever it takes

[exstatic]

No chance, unless Phoenix trades us that pick. There’s no way to use the draft assets we have now to climb that high.

[look_at_g_shred]

Would love to get him somehow

[Spurs fever]

Trade LA for him. ����

[weebo]

So the lakers aren't getting him...

[John B]

So the lakers aren't getting him...

But now NO will. What’s the status on Ingram?

[Cryptic Parable]

Yeah, better floor would have been somewhere between rookie Kawhi and second-year Kawhi ... but somewhere around there. Depending on how much one worries about Zion's weight impacting his health (and his ability to keep his weight reasonable), Hunter might be the safest pick in the draft.

Since Kwahi got a chip Hunter's stock might have gone up a bit for a copy cat league. He'll be gone long before 19 it's a matter of maneuvering and phone calls.

We could go for VanFleet ceiling, but we already have Brynn for that
