The Los Angeles Lakers received the No. 2 pick of the 2015 NBA draft in Tuesday night's draft lottery and avoided losing their pick to the Philadelphia 76ers.
As a part of a deal traded to the Sixers at this year's trade deadline, the Lakers would have had to hand over their pick to Philadelphia if they fell outside the top five. Luckily, the Lakers, who finished 21-61 this season, will have a shot at grabbing one of the top prospects in this year's draft to play alongside Kobe Bryant.
