Thiero is one of the most athletic players in this year's draft class and is an outstanding finisher who attacks the basket strongly. He is a poor outside shooter and needs to refine his defense, but he could have the potential to become a legitimate rotation player or even a starter down the road.

The Los Angeles Lakers make yet another trade from No. 45 to No. 36 and select Arkansas wing Adou Thiero. Lakers select get Arkansas' Adou Thiero at No. 36. Lakers get this athletic win by doing a trade with Nets to move into the 36th spot.

Rob Pelinka said the Los Angeles Lakers front office had a first-round draft grade on their no. 36 pick Adou Thiero of Arkansas.
