The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to take that final step toward being once again a championship team next season. To do so, they will need more depth, especially since at least one of their key contributors from this season may leave via free agency or possibly a trade.
Even if they run it back, they could still use another strong contributor at the wing or forward position for next season but beyond.
With the No. 17 and No. 47 picks in the 2023 NBA draft, which will take place on June 22, Los Angeles could end up with at least one very serviceable player. One candidate for that No. 47 pick could be Jalen Wilson, a forward it recently worked out.
