Laker predictions from around the web

Here are some picks from writers online:

Chris Eckstrand (SI.com) - Mardy Collins
Ian Thomsen (SI.com) - Mardy Collins
NBAdraft.net - Thabo Sefolosha, SF - Angelico Biella
Draftexpress.com - James White, SF - CIN
KillerCrossover Mock Draft - Kyle Lowry, PG - Villanova
Collegehoops.net - Thabo Sefolosha
Insidehoops.com - Guillermo Diaz, PG - Miami
Fanball.com - Mardy Collins
Tony Mejia (CBSportsline) - Kyle Lowry

• Collins seems to be a favorite of the mock Lakers and I'd be glad to have him.
  
• Sefolosha is an athletic Swiss player who seems to rising up the boards. He doesn't have much of an outside shot though, so I can't see the Lakers taking him.
  
• White is a stud athlete and uses his athleticism well on defense and on the boards. He has very little offensive game though and I believe Jackson will want a more polished player.
  
• Lowry has a phenomenal first step and is a solid defender, but his height (6'1) and lack of outside shot will not endear himself to Laker management.
  
• Diaz is actually a possibility. He has a very similar game to Douby albeit a bit smaller. He could be the darkhorse to break up my 6.
