The Los Angeles Lakers assembled one of the most promising hauls of young players in recent memory in the 2017 NBA Draft, with Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart all showing varying levels of future potential during their first year with the franchise.

But while Bryant didn’t play a ton for the Lakers this season, he was still happy with how his rookie campaign went. “I felt like my first year went pretty good. Especially coming in to a new environment, being a rookie, I tried to be a sponge and soak in everything I could,” Bryant said at his exit interview.
