The Los Angeles Lakers might have been able to sign LeBron James this offseason, but don’t sleep on their talented young core. Over the past few years, the Lakers have been drafting very well and that has resulted in them having one of the best young cores in the league.
In 2016, the Lakers were able to draft Brandon Ingram with the second overall pick, and they followed that pick up by drafting Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Josh Hart in 2017. These four players created quite the buzz in Los Angeles last season, as despite not making the playoffs, watching them play was certainly exciting.
