As the offseason approaches, there have been plenty of Lakers rumors about who they will be taking with the second overall pick. Despite a chance that they would lose the pick, the Lakers were able to hold on in the draft lottery and secure the second overall pick.
Due to the Boston Celtics having the first overall pick in the draft, the Lakers won’t be able to get whoever they want. Point guard Markelle Fultz is the best overall prospect in the draft, but the Celtics have a great point guard on their team already. Because of this, there is the possibility that they could trade or pass on Fultz with the first overall pick.
