The Los Angeles Lakers added plenty on draft night with their three picks. Their first selection, No. 25 overall, was used on Moritz Wagner who provides rebounding and an ability to stretch the floor.
Taken No. 39 overall, Isaac Bonga is a draft-and-stash player, and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk is one of the best shooters in the draft. Additionally, the Lakers reportedly signed impressive scoring guard Malik Newman to a two-way contract after the draft.
One deficiency the team didn’t address through the draft was the backup point guard position. It was an area of need as they struggled mightily when Lonzo Ball was injured.
