The Los Angeles Lakers have had the second overall pick in the last three NBA Drafts. Although the first one didn’t work out as they traded D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets this offseason, they have high hopes for the other two. Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball are pegged as the two guys to turn around the franchise that has suffered through the worst four season stretch in Lakers history.
Ingram struggled a bit in his rookie season, particularly with his shot, but his second half of the season was a big improvement as he demonstrated what he is capable of.
