2018 NBA Draft: Lakers Select Shooter Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk With 47th Overall Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers were extremely busy on draft day, but their final pick was 47th overall in the second round. The team has had success in this range before, selecting Jordan Clarkson 46th overall in 2014.

After their previous picks in this draft it was anyones guess as to what the Lakers would ultimately do with this final selection. There were a number of ways the franchise could go and plenty of players on the board who the team had worked out in the weeks prior to the draft.

Ultimately the team would wind up taking sharpshooter Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk from Kansas with their final pick of the night.
