Los Angeles Lakers

Brandon Ingram, SF (2), Ivica Zubac, C (32)

Just like we all expected, potential superstar Brandon Ingram, is head to L.A.. Ingram does need to build up some muscle if he wants to be effective in the NBA paint. Regardless, he will make an impact for the Lakers his rookie season. He’s such a great shooter and defender already, he’s one of the top Rookie of the Year candidates (I know it’s very early).

Los Angeles also got the center they needed with the 32^nd pick. Zubac is lengthy and he’s a skilled shot blocker and rebounder.

Draft Grade: A

Next: Memphis Grizzlies
