On Lakers pick - made me laugh ->
Thiero is powerful and fearless, and there is an undeniable physicality driving most everything he does. He finishes with ferocity, ruthlessly attacks the boards and drops jaws in transition.
He doesn't shoot, though—like, at all. He attempted just 74 threes over three collegiate campaigns and misfired on all but 21 of them. His 71.1 career free-throw percentage leaves little hope for development in this department.
But on a team with as much on-ball creation as the Lakers, you’d think NBA-ready shooting may have been more of a priority. Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves can all generate open looks for supporting players, and those are more dangerous when they are threes than they are when an inexperienced wing is hoping to attack a closeout.
