Plenty of reasons exist to be hopeful and even excited for the immediate future of the Los Angeles Lakers. One reason is they will pick No. 17 in next month’s NBA draft.
Armed with that pick, as well as the No. 47 selection, they should end up with at least one useful player.
The Lakers’ biggest needs seem to be a true 3-and-D wing and better frontcourt depth, and a number of players that could fill those needs should be available.
One such player whom the team worked out recently is Leonard Miller of the G League Ignite.
