With the front office of the Los Angeles Lakers pumping the brakes on the Lonzo Ball to Los Angeles hype, it’s clear that Josh Jackson of Kansas and De’Aaron Fox of Kentucky have become two legitimate prospects for the No. 2 overall pick.
With that becoming clear, ESPN experts Chad Ford and Kevin Pelton discussed the likelihood of each player, Ball, Jackson and Fox, being taken with the No. 2 pick.
Both Ford and Pelton still believe that Ball will be taken No. 2, and that the recent reports we’ve been hearing about the Lakers likely not taking Ball are more about the new front office members trying to project confidence and show that LaVar Ball isn’t in charge here.
