Going from the agent of Kobe Bryant to the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, Rob Pelinka has a lot of experience in the NBA. While he hasn’t been a general manager for long, the early reviews on Pelinka have been very good.
With a good eye for talent as an agent, Pelinka has done a nice job building the young core of the Lakers. In his first draft as a general manager, the Lakers were able to add three impact players in Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Josh Hart. In addition to those three, the Lakers also took Thomas Bryant in the second round, who might be able to contribute in a couple of years as well.
