One of the glaring needs for the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason was to improve their shooting. Last season, the Lakers were one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the league, and they wasted little time addressing that in the NBA Draft.
In the first round, the Lakers selected the stretch big man from Michigan, Moritz Wagner. As a power forward/center, Wagner is able to shoot three-pointers, similar to what Brook Lopez did for the team last season.
While Wagner was their first-round pick in the draft, the Lakers also selected Svi Mykhailiuk from Kansas.
