With the 2017 NBA Draft set to take place tomorrow, the Los Angeles Lakers are making their final preparations for making the second pick in the draft for the third straight year. All signs point to the team going with Lonzo Ball out of UCLA, and on Wednesday he along with 18 other top draft prospects, sat down for pre-draft interviews.
One of the many questions Ball was asked when he was available to the media ahead of the draft was what he took away from his meeting with Lakers president of basketball operations, Magic Johnson. The five-time NBA champion conveyed the message to be himself no matter what.
