The Los Angeles Lakers could be looking for not just additional depth, but also for a good player or even an All-Star. To do so, they may end up looking to trade the No. 17 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, as Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported on Friday.
In addition, they will have the No. 47 selection, which could turn out to be used on a viable player, especially if the past has been any indication. Los Angeles has hit on a number of second-round picks and even a couple of undrafted free agents in recent years.
One player it recently worked out is Matthew Mayer, a forward from Baylor University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
