Most eyes gravitate toward the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of the 2015 NBA draft.
There are teams in a rebuild, sure. Some, like the New York Knicks, already have a superstar in place (Carmelo Anthony) and a mastermind running the operation (president Phil Jackson). Other teams tout an insane amount of talent, such as the Minnesota Timberwolves.

General manager Mitch Kupchak and Co. are in unfamiliar territory via a traditional rebuild. By draft's end, the team figures to feature a pair of top-five rookies acquired over the past two years and a fading superstar.
