DBZ is like the definition of the child surpassing the parent
Pretty much everyone surpassed their parent including frieza
So, we are talking about old people?

Just went thru an Exum scouting report. He sounds like a Rondo-Westbrook hybrid. They "say" he's developing a mid range game, but can get to the rim and finish with either hand.
Put 33 on Spain as a damn 17 year old.
And he defends with a 6-9 wingspan. Yeesh.
But here is the interesting part. His father played college ball.
At North Carolina.
With Mike.
That isn't the interesting part.
It's that he's second generation player. How many times we see the son, FAR surpass the average father?????
Cal Ripken Jr, over Sr.
Ken Griffey Jr, over Sr.
Steph Curry, over Del Curry.
LeBron James, over Greg Oden.
Kobe Bryant, Jelly Bean Bryant.
Exum just may be the kid. But still a lot of homework to do.
Seriously though, If ever we end up with the 1st pick. Who would you guys prefer to pick? I am thinking of either Embiid, Exum or Parker.
Parker seems like a safe pick but both Embiid and Exum got great potential as well. Just got a strange feeling though about Exum.

Also took some video specifically when asked about the Lakers. I'll try and upload it when I get a chance. Definitely the highlight of my trip so far being it's monsoon season down here right now.

Kobe rockin Ozzie colours...exum is watching
All this talk about potentially having two lotto picks is making things interesting. Lakers only made one deal but established talks with phx, Philly, bk and golden state...mix of rebuilding, reloading, under and over the cap rosters. A nice foundation to have when teams start to revisit old convos around draft time. would make it somewhat valuable to have bird rights and be able to sign and trade guys, ending up with "basketball components" instead of salary dumps as Mitch alluded to.
If we somehow end up with one or two of embiid/exum/wiggins/Gordon/vonleh.....yeeesh

Isn't even the tiniest possibility of us getting 2 lottery picks. More remote than the Island Tom Hanks got trapped on in Cast Away

I'd take EMBIID all day, but the BUCKS will probably land him. LA has never been the 'invest' in the draft type of franchise.
