When he was drafted.
His family knew, no matter what, he was playing for the Lakers.. all along. I dont know exactly how it was pulled off beforehand.. but it was.
If you remember, I was the sole supporter of MCW on this board.

Untrue.
I made many posts in favor of MCW. The week leading up to draft night he was my top choice/ closely tied with Schroeder. Always said he was the kind of pg we should be coveting, and that his shot didn't look mechanically wrong (it just lacked spin and arc), and if he figured out his shot, he would easily become top pg in his draft,
With that said, one incredible game against the reigning world champs is just that. He will have more games like this mixed in with the kind of games that made others doubt him (he is a rook playing on an atrocious team).
I felt like his court vision and defensive potential alone were enough to gamble on him. I mean 12 AST's playing with that cast of jokers is amazing.

Playoffs VS Trey Burke
Simple question, simple answer. What do you guys prefer?
My choice is Playoffs & pick Michael Carter-Williams instead. He's long, he's athletic, can finish at the rim and he's a GREAT passer.
But that's my choice, what's yours?
Fine - here's the proof. I just found my old poll which I set up myself and I clearly stated:

https://jazzfanz.com/showthread.php...ith-the-14th-pick/page2&highlight=Draft+boardHere's my PG list this year in the order of preference:
1. Schroeder - quick, fast, plays defense, looking to pass, elite athleticism is key if you want to win Chips. I think he has a higher ceiling than Burke.
2. Burke - great leader, great handle, reliable, looking to pass, 3pt shooting, lower ceiling than Shroeder
3. McCollum - still not convince he's agile/nimble/quick enough to be a PG at the next level, but his shooting is undeniably vital for our squad
4. MCW - Still likes what he brings but still not sure whether he can hit those shots consistently
