Draft Buzz!

With the draft just one day away, the Lakers have a tough choice to make. They don't need a lot of help, but they could use a couple of players to ensure that LA repeats.

From my perspective, I think LA needs to draft a big man, as well as another point guard.

Besides Gasol and Bynum, the Lakers have nobody else to back them up. You want to have depth with your bigs, because they stay in foul trouble.

And I think another point guard would be good because LA's point guards now are a bit tough to read. It's only a matter of time before Fisher hangs it up, and in the wings are Jordan Farmar and Shannon Brown. Both are good young players, but they weren't consistent when called upon.

I think Darren Collison or Ty Lawson would be perfect fits in LA's system.

With Collison, you get a great defender and a true point guard who will mesh with Farmar, since both were former Bruins. His defensive ability will make LA even better, because he will fit in perfectly.

Then we have Lawson who is a totally different player. Coming off a NCAA championship with the Tar Heels, Lawson is a versatile player who can cause chaos for any defense. He's probably the fastest guy in this draft, and he uses that to his advantage. He will be able to drive the ball and kick it to open people, and the Lakers have many great shooters, so it will make them pretty much unbeatable.

The player who I want to go to the Lakers would be Syracuse guard Jonny Flynn, however it looks like he's probably going to go in the top 10.

This kid I think is a player many people don't talk about, but he's going to be a force to be wrecking with. He's quick, athletic, smart, and very versatile. I think he would suit better with LA, because it will make him a smarter player, playing along the sides of Kobe, Fisher, and Odom, while also learning from the young guys like Famar and Ariza.

This draft is going to be good, maybe one of the best. It's a lot of great young players, with an incredible amount of talent. Can't Wait Until Tomorrow!
