The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the best teams in the NBA in finding talent in unconventional ways and developing that talent. Whether it be late in the NBA Draft or via undrafted signings, there are few teams in the league that do it better than the Lake Show.
That is why Lakers fans are getting so excited about the two new players the team welcomed in the 2023 NBA Draft. Jalen Hood-Schifino was selected with the 17th overall pick while Maxwell Lewis somehow fell to the Lakers at pick 40.
History says that the Lakers would be lucky if just one of these guys turned into a rotation player but that has not stopped the excitement from the fanbase.
