Dating back to the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, the Los Angeles Lakers have been connected to perceived favorite 2018 prospect. A report suggested the team promised to draft Mitchell Robinson with the 25th overall pick in the 2018 Draft.
That was later refuted but with the caveat the Lakers reportedly remain intrigued by the versatile big man. That was followed by the Lakers reportedly being fans of international prospect Luke Doncic but unlikely to make the steps necessary to potentially draft him.
Doncic is projected in several mock drafts to be taken within the top three picks.
