2. Los Angeles Lakers Select Lonzo Ball, PG, UCLA
Year: Freshman
Mr. Balll gets his wish. The Lakers already have a young, talented point guard, but this is another case of prioritizing talent over position. Ball, who is the engine that runs the second-most efficient offense in all of college basketball, is an outstanding creator and distributor. He would immediately improve the offensive flow for a team that ranks 26th in assist percentage and 28th in assist-to-turnover ratio, while giving Luke Walton a dangerous open-court option for his up-tempo attack.
