The Los Angeles Lakers made a significant move during the draft by trading up to select Adou Thiero with the 36th overall pick. Viewed as a first-round talent, Thiero expressed immense gratitude for joining the prestigious franchise. After a successful college career under coach John Calipari, where he averaged 15.1 points and 5.8 rebounds in his final season, Thiero is now ready to prove himself in the NBA. Expressing eagerness to contribute, he emphasized his commitment to work hard and adapt to Coach JJ Redick's system.
"It's a blessing. Just grateful to hear my name called at the end of the day, but just to join a great organization like the Lakers, that's, man. I can't even put it into words."
"I'm ready to go in and do whatever I got to do to see the floor, help the team. Just doing whatever coach JJ need me to do."
