1. LETS GO ROOK

   So cute that Austin, Marcus, and Jake came out to support 🥹

2. Reminder of his draft scouting report via NBA:

   Standing at 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot wingspan, Thiero possesses ideal size, length and athleticism for a forward in the modern NBA. He is an aggressive offensive rebounder and has the ability to consistently finish above the rim. Thiero is also a menace on the defensive end, as he proficiently uses his length to create turnovers and erase shots at the rim.

   Thiero’s ceiling will ultimately be decided by how his 3-point shot develops, but his elite athleticism and impressive length give him a solid floor as an impactful defender who can crash the glass and finish at the rim. Thiero’s game is reminiscent of Jalen Johnson and Noah Clowney coming out of college as lengthy defenders who can be used in small-ball lineups and get to the rim by cutting off-ball or running in transition.

3. The Lakers cooked moving up in the draft to pick Thiero.

4. “Do you like what you see?” 👀 “Yes, Adou” 😂

5. Guy is athletic as fuck

6. 🙂

7. JJ needs to start giving this guy minutes from now so that come playoff time his confidence will be up.

8. He made a 3? Them Vando minutes…

   

9. Thierro looks good it’s the g league but the athleticism and defense is there. I’m hoping he can eventually move up in our rotation and play some meaningful minutes for us this season cuz this team badly needs athleticism.

10. His shot looks good. JJ should develop this guy.

11. guys, for adou, I have “…more than a feeling… “

12. His energy, defense and athleticism is exactly what we need

13. Whats the stats of bronny? Anybody knows?

14. So springy and athletic. Should definitely be nice defensive contributor at minimum next season

15. I’ve seen enough. Give me some takis for Vando

16. Oh he’s like TOO good for the g league lol

17. Now this feels like a second rounder worth trading up for, unlike Max Lewis. Hoo boy, was there a worst draft night in Lakers history than the JHS Max Lewis 1-2 poopoo combo platter?

18. That drive through is crazy. Guy has a tall ceiling & the perfect skill sets which the Lakers lack most right now. Hope he stands up to that challenge.

19. 45 gotta be executed look at the way he “fell” on Adou

20. Its just 1-2 from 3 but still excited about that.

    Edit: and the free throws to. 5-5 could be a decent indication of shooting potential

21. This dude gonna scare the shit out of me every time he leaves his feet with how reckless he is.

22. Ok Adou, I’m intrigued!

23. # Vando

    

24. Bro his shooting mechanism is on a whole new level compared to Vando lol

25. League him

26. This dude looks like a monster

27. He is the one

28. Kinda plays like Russ

29. I’ve seen enough. There’s no way this guy doesn’t put Vando out of a job.

30. “Hey, Vando we’re good ! You can go, we got Adou Thierro now” ironically

31. We need 2 more guys like him to compete with the Thunder

32. Manon is hella good too. Id pick him over Koloko and Nick Jr

33. Anyone who has watched his college tape can see that he changed and improved his shooting alot as well as being more than a straight line driver as seen in college. Small sample size for these observations but it makes you wonder what Vando has been doing every summer for the last 6 years.

34. Ew

35. He seems to have next level athleticism compared to the guys in the Gleague. Solid looking frame, a defensive chops and a motor. Things aren’t looking good for Vando.

36. Should be worth noting too, he only played 19 minutes which makes his stat line even better.

37. Already built like an nba vet

38. The way he moves and bulldozes his way into the paint with insane athleticism, he kinda reminds me of Giannis. I think he has insane potential 

39. I love him already
