After a nice, quiet day Wednesday, NBA Draft day is kicking off with a doozie of a rumor. ESPN’s Chad Ford released his latest mock draft and, as per usual, had plenty of nuggets to offer up.
Ford is of the opinion the Lakers have a good idea on what they’re going to do with their second overall pick; it’s just a matter of how they use it.
“The Lakers started sending signals over the weekend that Ball was going to be their guy if they kept this pick. The trade of D'Angelo Russell to the Nets is yet another piece of evidence that Ball is coming,” Ford writes.
