The Arkansas-to-Lakers pipeline is one that has been full of great rewards for the Lakers. According to Basketball Reference, 56 NBA players all-time have been born in Arkansas and over 10% of those — six in total — have played for the Lakers.
The first two, Jim Barnes and Archie Clark, did not make much of an impact but both Derek Fisher and Glen Rice were a part of title-winning teams, the former establishing himself as one of the most beloved Lakers role players of his generation, if not ever.
The two most recent have been two of the more fun Lakers this season, though, in Malik Monk and Austin Reaves.
