The 2021 NBA Draft is just days away which means the Los Angeles Lakers have another chance to add a young player who could potentially help the team. A lot of prospects have worked out for the team and whoever they select, should they choose to keep the pick, it would seem likely based on recent history that they will be a real contributor.
That is because the Lakers front office and scouting department have done an outstanding job in recent years of finding good NBA players in all ranges of the draft. Be it in the first couple of picks, mid-to-late first round, or even second round, the Lakers have been excellent with their draft picks and the data bears that out.
