Where do you rank Pau All Time on Laker players

[Vinylman]

Does anyone have him in their top 10?

I don't but wonder what others thought?

[KillaInstinct24]

Pau should be top 15. not top 10 though. too many great players.

yeah... that is about where i had him... i didn't want to share my list and bias the discussion...

It will be interesting to see where the rational posters put him

i think he squeezes in the top 10 (no particular order):

kobe
shaq
magic
kareem
worthy
west
wilt
baylor

that's 8 people right there that i would include with no hesitation. the final two spots are essentially between wilkes, goodrich, and pau. i think pau and goodrich get the two spots and wilkes comes in at 11.

i think last season and phil's last post season kinda affected him on that list in the eyes of most lakers fans. i just think he's a lot better at center, dude is not a pf, doesn't have the quickness and not the best 18 ft jumpshot; next to howard or bynum he just looks like an average player at best.

He is definitely hurt by playing out of position... which really is the FO fault

It would have been interesting the last couple of years to see him at the 5 with a dominant 4.... The FO should have traded Bynum along time ago... in the end getting D12 was good but we really wasted 2 years of kobe and Pau with Jimbaco's experiment

i have a hard time aligning my loyalties with that minnesota team (although i'll welcome their banners with no hesitation) but i guess if thats included mikan would surely get the nod. its difficult deciding between goodrich and pau though. i think pau has a legitimate case vs goodrich. if pau wins a third ring here, it would be a terrible oversight if his jersey isn't retired.

His jersey will be retired either way because he will make the "basketball" HOF and that is the Lakers standard...

Top 12-15 all time laker but #1 woman excluding Jeanie.

exactly, the only thing missing was a charles oakley type PF and a shooter or two off the bench. i was face palming that entire dallas series watching pau try to guard dirk. it was absurd. albeit dirk had a sensational post season that year, it was a clear mismatch

[lakers4sho]

The FO failed to recover properly from the botched paul deal.

Top 15. Top 50 the last 2 seasons
