If you’re any type of Lakers fan, you know that they have at least one guaranteed first-round pick in the upcoming draft. Of course everybody in the organization is hoping and praying that the basketball gods shine some light upon us, and grant us a top-three pick.
If that doesn’t happen, the team still has the 28th overall pick they acquired from the Rockets in the Lou Williams trade back at the deadline.
The Lakers have proven in recent year they know how to draft when it comes to late picks. Larry Nance Jr, Ivica Zubac, and Jordan Clarkson were all selected with picks 27th or later, which just so happens to be one spot higher than where the team drafts this year.
