No NBA organization outright claims to want to draft a boring, uninteresting prospect, and the Los Angeles Lakers are no different. Most franchises determine which college player could be beneficial through only their on-the-court abilities. But if you’re the Lakers, somehow, someway, the grandiose nature that surrounds the franchise always seems to attract the most entertaining talent.
Lonzo Ball, the Lakers second overall pick, could never fit in Boston. Nor would he fit in Philadelphia. His spot on the Lakers felt premeditated, predetermined.
Most know the Lakers’ history, comes a track record of championships, trophies, banners, and all the grandeur that accompanies them.
