With the withdrawal deadline of May 31 having come and gone, the field of players is set for the 2023 NBA Draft. The Lakers look set to hang onto their No. 17 draft pick at the very least and have a clearer idea of who they can target with their picks.
In reality, there isn’t much change with the No. 17 pick as few, if any, players in that range withdrew. Things changed more with the No. 47 pick but that is already a very unpredictable pick to project as is.
A host of new mock drafts were released with the deadline coming and going, giving us another chance to look at potential picks for the Lakers.
