Maybe phsysically, but he's got one thing Vujacic can only dream of: the talent and knowledge of the game. Maybe Rudy is not Ginobili, but he is a great all-around player, maye a bit thin, but one of the few Euros that like to play alley-hoops. At #26 he could be some kind of a Tony Parker like steal.

Hortford would fit this mold beautifully if they could trade up for him. The Bynum selection, however, is not at all conducive to that style--why skip out on Danny Granger (defender, passer, shooter, rebounder) for a purely low-post prospect? Of course this is assuming Mitch has a plan to maximize the Phil-Kobe assests he has...

Maybe Garnett could do it, but Shaq was a physical freak (and still is, to a lesser extent). Even if the Lakers were able to swing a Mihm for Boozer deal, Boozer just becomes the Horrace Grant of that mix. 19., I think this is going to be more 90s Bulls style, simply because there just aren’t other Shaq’s out there.

One guy who nbadraft.net considers bubble 2nd round is Washington’s Bobby Jones. This guy is a disruptive, lock-down defender who would free up Kobe and Smush to play the passing lanes and save their energy for exploding toward the bucket. He’s an elite athlete who can finish on the break, cut for easy deuces from Odom or Walton, and above all has the competitive warrior blood that Kobe would respect. 2nd round picks might be as valuable as first this year. Quincy Douby would add a spark and provide tougness Sasha lacks. Brazilian wunderkind Marcus Vinicius strikes me as a young Kukoc-type if we’re really attempting a Bulls-esque championship run in the next few years. Which brings up a good question – should management pattern the Lakers after the 90’s MJ-Pippen Bulls or the 2000 Shaqtastics? Triangle from the high post with cutters and spot-up big men, or triangle from the low-post with three-point threats and Kobe running the show(be)? Can Odom play lefty Pippen? Can Bynum play Nuevo-Shaq? I’m with P Henry – perimeter D is key, and probably the best buy if a big like Boone or Hortford isn’t on the board.
