Summary

The Lakers have the 22nd pick in this year's NBA Draft, and names of potential draftees are flying around. We've discussed the priorities for the Lakers heading in - shooting, playmaking, and perhaps most important, the ability to contribute quickly - and begin our scouting reports talking Florida guard Tre Mann with Brandon Olsen, host of Locked on Gators and Whole Nine Sports. Could Mann, who played two years with the Gators, improved considerably between years 1 and 2, and even grew a few inches, be a good fit in purple and gold? Olsen breaks down his strengths and weaknesses. From there, the other shoe we've all been waiting for finally dropped on the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard is out for at least six months following surgery to repair a partially torn ACL. Likely, the absence could be closer to nine or even 12 months, meaning there's an real chance Leonard misses most if not all of next season. What does that mean for the Western Conference? How does it impact the Lakers' title window? Lakers fans may be happy their team has a better shot at winning next year, but shouldn't (and likely won't) get too gleeful. We discuss why. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1; All about Tre Mann, with Brandon Olsen. Is he a good fit at 22? SEGMENT 2: Kawhi's injury, and how it impacts the Lakers. What does it mean for their offseason? Can the Clippers recover? Do the Lakers, and other teams, push harder to win now, now? SEGMENT 3: Kawhi's injury illustrates the dangers inherent in building teams around highly paid stars. When they go down, there's just no recourse. It's the worst nightmare for a fanbase... including for Lakers fans. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
