Los Angeles Lakers

Draft Picks: Brandon Ingram No. 2, Ivica Zubac No. 32

Life After Kobe.

The time has come and the Lakers rebuilding can officially start. Ingram has the ability to create his own shots, who can handle the ball quite well, which the Lakers will definitely need; a consistent scoring threat.

There is always the possibility to bring in a new centerpiece for the franchise (DeMarcus Cousins, Jimmy Butler, Paul George), but for now let us say Ingram joins the Lakers core as they continue the rebuild in hopes to return to Lakers glory.

D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and Ingram is a nice start for new coach Luke Walton. Ingram is my early prediction for Rookie of the Year.

Grade: A-
