The Lakers have had an active summer, bringing back some of their own free agents like Jordan Clarkson, Tarik Black, and Marcelo Huertas while also signing proven veterans Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng. The young team also added a pair of intriguing young prospects in rookies Brandon Ingram and Ivica Zubac, who were selected in the NBA Draft.
Ingram, in particular, has Lakers fans optimistic for a bright future. At 6’9″ with a 7′ wingspan and possessing the ability to stretch the floor with his shooting, Ingram appears to be the prototypical modern basketball player. He comes from a great system at Duke, and his development will be a big factor in the future success of the franchise.
