For many Los Angeles Lakers fans, it is a three-man race for who the team should pick second overall in the 2017 NBA Draft. Will it be UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball, Kentucky point guard De’Aaron Fox, or Kansas small forward Josh Jackson?
Lakers fans have split into three different camps and frequently debate which prospect is the right fit at number two. While fans are arguing over who the should go second, they often forget that the Lakers also possess the 28th pick.
With either Ball, Fox, or Jackson expected to go second overall, the Lakers have a much longer list of candidates to choose from at 28.
