One of the more interesting stories in the NBA right now not involving the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, it’s surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers, and what Magic Johnson will do with the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft and this offseason in free agency.
Many believe that UCLA product Lonzo Ball will end up being drafted by the Lakers with the No. 2 pick, something that his dad, LaVar Ball, has wanted from the very beginning as he said he is going to, “speak it into existence.”
Johnson, who is the Lakers president of basketball operations, has even gone as far as to say that Lonzo reminds him of himself of a player, so the pairing seems to be a match made in heaven.
