The Los Angeles Lakers traded away a lot of draft capital to obtain Anthony Davis last offseason, their 2020 first-round pick was not part of that deal. Thus, the Lakers have the 28th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft after finishing with the third-best record in the league.
There are a lot of moving parts this offseason and we do not know who the Lakers may bring back in free agency or who the team might be pursuing from other teams, also via free agency or via trade.
Using some estimating based on what we think is going to happen this offseason, we came up with the positions of need power ranking for the Lakers in the 2020 NBA Draft.
