This team really loves each other.
Among the young trio that the Los Angeles Lakers appear to have organized their rebuild around, it is the brewing bromance between guards Jordan Clarkson and D'Angelo Russell that has gotten the most attention. While it is nice to see the Lakers' hoped for backcourt of the future getting along famously, that rookie-sophomore combo is not the only friendship growing on this up-and-coming Lakers team. Clarkson was initially the much less heralded member of the Lakers' pair of 2014 draft picks after being drafted 46th overall, but he and 7th overall pick Julius Randle both began their professional journey together on draft night; two products of Texas high schools donning the purple and gold.
