The Los Angeles Lakers scouting team has firmly established itself as a powerhouse across the league over the last decade. Here are some of the names of the Lakers players selected/acquired outside of the lottery in recent memory:
- Jordan Clarkson
- Larry Nance Jr
- Ivica Zubac
- Kyle Kuzma
- Josh Hart
- Moritz Wagner
- Talen Horton-Tucker
That is a list of quality NBA talent, all of which are still actively contributing to their respective rotations (aside from the rookies). The track record from a talent identification standpoint via the draft has been magnificent under the guidance of Jesse Buss.
