The Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA Draft plans need to include players that can be trusted to make an immediate Day 1 impact on the offensive side of the ball, all while helping the team out from 3-point range. This draft is full of players that can help fill out that very specific archetype for Rob Pelinka.
The Lakers have been linked to a ton of high-end guards that all profile as shooters who can excel on kick-out passes from LeBron James. Still, the idea of drafting a player that can operate on the low block in the name of depth might be appealing to some in LA.
