We’re back with our latest NBA mock draft, wondering what happens if the Los Angeles Lakers don’t take Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick.
The biggest assumption that draft analysts seem to be making at this point is that the top two picks in the 2017 NBA Draft are pretty cut and dry. Washington’s Markelle Fultz will come off the board to the Boston Celtics at No. 1 and UCLA’s Lonzo Ball will follow to the Los Angeles Lakers at No. 2. But, what if the Lakers buck the conventional wisdom and don’t take Ball? There are reports that the franchise will examine all of their options and, in particular, that they might be interested in Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox.
So, sticking with the idea that we want to look at different ways the 2017 NBA Draft might shake out, we’ve sent Fox to the Lakers at No. 2. What are the ramifications of that decision?
Let’s take a look.
