Cooper KleinHOST
Does not have the feel to make that his game.
Cooper KleinHOST
And Jalen Hood-Schifino, who I feel like is the ultimate fade for me.
Cooper KleinHOST
Like, people loved him.
Cooper KleinHOST
He ends up going in the 20s or, like, late teens.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
Um, and sometimes this happens.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
But, uh, the other part of it, though, is this, you know, when you combine that with the, the Jalen Hood-Schifino thing, um, that is two, you know, picks in their te- in the, in the, in the-
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
They were both the 17th pick
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
... 17th pick.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
And so I, um, I just...
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
You know, it, it is gonna be, it's one of these things that's sort of hard to quantify.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
Like you don't think about the th- the thing that isn't there, the, the hole that isn't... 'Cause like it's not like we, you know, we never got used to the idea of [laughs] Jalen Hood-Schifino or, or really even Dalton after that first year.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
And it's just like, but when you are a team that, that, you know, s- that is aggressive like the Lakers are and, you know, is constantly trying to win and, and whatever and you, you're battling high payrolls and the apron and all these other things.
LoconteHOST
And they were under the cap too.
Siddharth RamsundarHOST
But also going back, drafting Jalen Hood-Chefino over Jamie Jaquez made no sense to me.
Siddharth RamsundarHOST
Personally, it made no sense to me.
LoconteHOST
Actually, Jaime Jaquez Jr. would have been really good on this Lakers
Pete ZayasHOST
Now, I think that that's convenient to a certain degree, right? But however, I saw this with my own eyes of, like, several people in key roles of, like, you people are never around.
Pete ZayasHOST
And you know, you cut to the Lakers draft room this past draft, and you're like, "We got like five dudes in the room." And this was such a core problem that I think that with the Dalton draft, it's like, why are we not scheduling interviews with 100 different guys? You know? Do we not have the resource to just sit down and talk to him? If you actually sat down and interviewed Dalton, would you have been like, "Hey, maybe this guy isn't as bright as we need him to be a successful player"? If you don't have half your fricking or all your fricking scouts scouting the '23 trade deadline 'cause you gotta trade Russ and Pat Bev, do you make a better draft pick than Jalen Hood-Schifino? And that was a hard one because, like, that's an ownership blame game for me of they don't have enough resources in ops where things like that fall through the cracks.
Darius SorianoHOST
You made so many good points.
Darius SorianoHOST
It's just like we could do an entire podcast just on some of those subtopic areas.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
...
Jonathan HernandezHOST
Devin Carter from the Sacramento Kings, Jalen Hood Sh- oh, Jalen.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
[laughs] Jalen Hood-Schifino from the Lakers.
CJ ToledanoGUEST
Yeah, we all watched.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
We didn't even do one for Dalton just because why bother? Nobody expected that he'd be anywhere close to available at seventeen.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
And then on the heels of the Jalen Hood-Schifino pick the year before, also at seventeen, which very clearly it became apparent the Lakers just chose wrong.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
This felt like a potential buffer from whiffing on that pick for JHS, and like it could alleviate some of that damage.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
And instead, the Lakers ended up with two seventeenth picks in a row, you know, two first-round picks, and the Lakers have not had tons of access to those picks that were complete misses.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
And it hurt the Lakers a lot.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
Like whether because they lost out on Jalen Hood-Schifino or Dalton Connect as rotation players or as flippable assets with value, but just opportunity costs.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
You know, in, in the JHS draft, Hani Jaquez or Brandon Podziemski, Noah Clowney, they were all available right after JHS.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
But at, at least JHS, they knowingly took him as a project.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
We were talking before we came back on this one, just like, you know, Dalton Connect 15 years ago would have gotten his fourth year option picked up.
Brian KamenetzkyHOST
Like it just, it was just sort of, you had to be so bad as a, as a rookie to get dumped in the way that, you know, he's about to be dumped the way the Lakers unloaded Jalen Hood-Schifino in the way that Rob Dillingham has been.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
I, I can only off the top of my head think of one first round pick that did not get his third year option picked up, and that was Shannon Brown actually.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
Like it's, it, it's becomes hard to remember now because Shannon ended up latching on and he got a tryout with the then Bobcats, I think that's what they were then.
Jovan BuhaHOST
That's just such a step up from previous rosters.
Jovan BuhaHOST
Like, it was a few years ago, Lakers had Jalen Hood, Shefido, and Maxwell Lewis, who were both quickly out of the league as their 14th and 15th men on the team.
Jovan BuhaHOST
If the 14th and 15th men end up being Jaden Hardy and Jared Vanderbilt, That's a major step up in just overall talent and guys that you would trust throwing into a random game.
Jovan BuhaHOST
If you're shorthanded, someone gets injured, someone's in foul trouble.
Sammy LongGUEST
Totally.
Eric SklarGUEST
I mean, Dalton Knecht, Jalen Hood-Schifino are two perfect examples of two guys the Lakers heavily invested in with first round picks and flamed out.
Sammy LongGUEST
And that, and that's, that's been a major issue when the Lakers have lacked depth.
Sammy LongGUEST
And again, I don't wanna speak too f- too far.
Raphael BarlowHOST
It doesn't matter that you
James BarloweHOST
drafted Hood Schifino.
James BarloweHOST
And then
Raphael BarlowHOST
it goes down two notches with Hood Schifino.
Raphael BarlowHOST
Like, he didn't even get a second chance.
Raphael BarlowHOST
No, I guess he got one in Philly.
