We’re really going to end the night with Buddy, Bagley and Franz Wagner aren’t we?

I take back my “mildly disappointed” prediction from earlier.
Or a big gaping hole on the wing and another big expecting to put up numbers but benched for poor defense? I'll take option A.

It's continuing now with Bagley though. If not then sure, but it still is apparently an ongoing curse. And they were still all bigs based around the potential to get you production. None were defensive specialists, none were freak athletes outside of Robinson, who really wasn't and was still undersized. He was a 20 and 10 type, nothing more.
Marvin was and is far from a skilled big. And WCS was a defensive specialist and freak athlete. Bagley was certainly drafted more for his athletic potential than skill. Other than offensive rebounding (and maybe running/finishing in transition) he didn't have a single NBA ready skill.
 
I don't think Westbrook is good for the Lakers since both he and Lebron need the ball in their hands most of the time. Westbrook is just not effective standing around and watching. That's why he and Harden doesn't work in Houston. I think Hield is a much better fit for them.
