With Balls shooting woes and Russell scores, albeit as first option with nets, at this stage does it look like the Lakers made a mistake choosing Ball over Russell? And now there's talk theyre going to let Randle walk in pursuit of free agents. Are the Lakers going to blow up or can they get LeBron, and is Ball really the point guard to pair with him.

Kuzma is looking like the only pick that the Lakers nailed the past couple of drafts. Ingram strung together a couple of good games, but he doesn't stand out in any one facet of his game. Ball looks like Michael Carter-Williams, except with an even worse jumper at this stage... I rated Fox over both Ball and Fultz pre-draft, and that still looks like a safe pick at this (very early) stage.
Jury is still out on Russell too IMO, had a couple of decent games but still looks like a low efficiency scorer more than anything else.
Betting Lakers and maybe sixers went with different picks, could have maybe beaten Boston to the punch with the picks and a randle / okafur combo, but at least Fultz has been injured with the sixers rookie curse. Ball is looking bust material with his shooting percentage. Will LeBron even consider Lakers unless George commits, looking like a mess. Would be funny if he goes to Boston, kyrie will be WTF
