When you buying your Sacre Laker jersey?

Ha!

Congrats to Sacre... getting drafted is quite an accomplishment, even if you're "Mr. Irrelevant."

Only time will tell to see if he actually gets signed and makes it onto LA's roster. His size and athleticism are on his side, but somehow I get the feeling his poor rebounding will come back to haunt him. He definitely won't be getting all the calls he got in college, so his good FT% really doesn't matter all that much.

If he can rebound and block shots, he'll have a role. But as he's shown throughout his college career, his ability to rebound is a big if.

"Kupchak cautioned against expecting too much from either player next season.

"We're not going to know if these guys are good enough until the fall when we go to training camp," Kupchak said. "I expect we'll know more about them after summer league (which begins July 13 in Las Vegas).""

I'm sure Uber hopes Sacre is the next Adam Morrison: ride the bench on a way to a ring.

I hope he rides the bench all the way to our D-League team. He is a..."defender" right?

Augh.

Please let this happen. I think it would cause a rift in the space-time continuum, but the hilarity that ensues would be totally worth it.

Of course us LA Dons always get the pleasure of having a Zag in a Laker jersey...hopefully he'll last as long as Morisson did

I saw this coming from a mile away...and almost didn't want to give it a reply

NEVER. He likely won't even make the squad....atleast I hope not.

Why...why me. Too many former Zaggies sneaking on to the purple and gold.

"It's rare for the draft's last player to make an NBA impact, but Sacramento hit a home run with Washington point guard Isaiah Thomas last season. He averaged 14.8 points and 5.4 assists in 37 games as a starter for the Kings.

Much, much more often than not, players taken that late barely have NBA careers. Since 2000, nine of 12 didn't even play 15 NBA games. Sorry, Milovan Rakovic, Bryan Bracey, Andreas Glyniadakis, Corsley Edwards, et al.

The Lakers would be lucky to even get a guy such as Turkish center Semih Erden, who was picked last in 2008 by Boston and averaged 3.5 points for Cleveland last season."

Sacre will definitely make the team because he was the Lakers one draft pick this year. If you have a few second round picks sometimes they can't all make the roster.

Pretty sure LA also acquired Darius Johnson-Odom (the 55th pick) from Dallas.

Also, their roster is likely going to change quite a bit, depending on what they do with Gasol and if they enter the Dwight Howard sweepstakes for real.

Remember, second round picks do not get guaranteed contracts like first rounders. He'll have to earn his roster spot in training camp.

I think the Lakers have a second round draft and stash from the year before as well.
