Since declaring for the NBA Draft after his freshman year at Syracuse University, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Tyler Ennis has already had quite the tumultuous ride to kick off his NBA career. Drafted with the 18th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, Ennis was later traded to the Milwaukee Bucks and then the Houston Rockets, before landing in L.A. just minutes before the NBA trade deadline, about a month ago.
We sat down with Ennis to chat about his crazy ride to the NBA, his first encounter with Kobe Bryant, what he’s learned from Steve Nash, what it’s like being one of the few Canadians in the NBA and how it’s all coming full circle.
