There were rumors over the weekend that the Los Angeles Lakers had promised Mitchell Robinson they’d select him with the No. 25 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, rumors that appeared to gain more credence based on the fact that five of the six major mock drafts looked at by Silver Screen and Roll had projected him to land in L.A.
Those rumors hitting social media were hardly a guarantee we’d get any type of confirmation on them one way or the other — and this is hardly confirmation in either direction, to be clear — but enterprising Reddit user daftmunt noticed Robinson’s most recent two Twitter likes and posted them on the Lakers subreddit, and they would seem to lend credence to the idea that Robinson may be bound for the purple and gold.
