The NBA Draft is one of the most exciting things in the NBA. Every year, future legends are selected by various NBA teams, sometimes being anticipated (such as LeBron James) and other times being a surprise (Giannis Antetokounmpo).
Let’s not forget about the draft busts as well. Those are always fun to look back at in retrospect, as long as you are not a fan of the team that drafted the bust.
The Los Angeles Lakers have an interesting history with the NBA Draft as well. While often not having a high selection in the draft because of the team’s success, there are some very interesting facts about the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA Draft that we came across.
