The Lakers are thrilled right now. Thiero was among their reach targets from the beginning, but they never thought there was a chance. He’ll contribute in spurts early with his defense, and gradually earn more minutes as the jumper develops. Rob Pelinka gets his guy in Round 2.

Interesting and falls in line with the “take the best player available” mentality.
Regardless of fit.
