Darius Johnson-Odom selected by Lakers
Written by: Andrei Greska
With the 55th pick of the 2012 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers (via trade with Dallas) selected guard Darius Johnson-Odom, making him 34th Marquette player to join the exclusive NBA pro ranks. Johnson-Odom joined Marquette after a one year stint … Continue reading → (http://painttouches.com/2012/06/28/darius-johnson-odom-selected-by-lakers/)

That's where ESPN had him projected! Will wonders ever cease? Go Marquette!

Traded to lakers
Probably a better situation for him to make the team with that being the Lakers' only pick.
-
Can we convince him to wear #7? Probably some old Lamar Odom Lakers jerseys on clearance that could be picked up!
-
can't wait for my new Laker jersey

DJO will join Crowder in Dallas

sports-writing robot must have missed the update. Time for a reboot.
-
Not a bad landing spot for DJO. Gets to play for a glamour team and live in SoCal. Not too bad at all.

DJO is drafted 55th
Former Marquette guard Darius Johnson-Odom was selected 55th overall in the National Basketball Association draft by the Dallas Mavericks.

MUEng92, if you feel bad about Dallas, this is AWFUL! I absolutely loathe the Lakers. It's too bad things like this happen. Good for DJO, though. Glad he made it but purple and gold is hard to take.
-
Following in Tony Smith's footsteps.
-
Love it ;D
-
And Butch Lee and Jim Chones footsteps!!

Sorry, which is it for DJO? I keep reading conflicting things. He was drafted by the Mavs, but dealt to the Lakers? Or the other way around?

Lakers sent $500,000 to Dallas for DJO. So you have it right.
Also interesting that they paid that much for a very late pick. I wonder if that bodes well for DJ's chances of making the team.
-
The lakers need a guard who can play D, they were ridiculously un-athletic last year, sounds like a great fit, any scoring would just be a bonus. Kobe wont let him shoot anyway ;)

Never thought of this as a comparison for DJO - DJO certainly is more athletic, bouncy - but in terms of strength, size, and good left outside shooter: Derek Fischer? Obviously the Lakers had a long run of success with D-Fish - a high character guy - who was undersized, not exactly a point guard, but just makes winning plays/shots...
-
A smaller Shannon Brown?
-
never thought about that either but D Fish is a great comparisen. Really solid strong lefties... huh
-
not brown, he is a freak with a huge wingspan, I think he was a forward at Michigan st

There is a little value add to a lefty as well. Can't recall where I read that, but I do know Buzz (and his infinite study of statistics), has signed a much higher rate of lefty players than what the general population percentage is. DJO, TJ Taylor, Deonte Burton, Maymon..

Pretty sure Brett "The Beast" Roseboro was a lefty too

I would advise against comparing DJO to a guy that can barely hang on an NBA roster.

??? Brown has also made $10 million over six years and had the best year of his career this year. If DJO can follow the same trajectory I'm sure he'd be a happy camper. Novak has made under $5 in the same amount of time. He was struggling to make rosters himself. Sometimes all you have to do is hang on and find a good fit, like Wesley with the Jazz & Blazers.
-
Until DJO makes a roster and starts playing in NBA games, I'm not going to compare him to anyone. And regardless of money, would I want Shannon Brown on my NBA team? No.

Not gonna lie I jumped in joy when DJ got drafted by Dallas and it looked like he and Crowder would be teammates again. Then went to bed and was a bit disappointed to see that DJ was traded to LA this morning. Good news is they are both on playoff teams. All 7 MU players in the NBA are on 7 different playoff teams as of right now thats pretty crazy.

I couldn't figure why Dallas would get both of them when they'll likely end up playing the same or similar position. With the trade, all is revealed.
