In recent years, the Los Angeles Lakers have been drafting extremely well, especially late in the first round. In all four major sports, most of the top teams are generally the ones that draft well, and the Lakers are certainly getting the reputation for being able to find talent.
During the 2017 NBA Draft, the Lakers were able to strike gold late in the first round when they selected Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart. Finding two players that have the talent to be starters in the NBA for years to come is huge for the franchise.
