10. Los Angeles Lakers – Kevin Porter Jr., G/F, USC
There might not be a better fit for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have seen their season fall at the wayside over the last couple of months. After losing both LeBron James and Lonzo Ball to injury, perhaps that was the moment that we knew this season was lost.
However, picking at 10 gives this team a chance to quickly bounce back – whether that’s by trading the pick for an established star or by taking a player that could come in and contribute right away. Kevin Porter could be that player.
In 21 games for the USC Trojans this season, Porter averaged 10 points and four rebounds on an impressive 41 percent shooting from 3-point range. If he can accept a small role on the Lakers next season, there’s no question that he could be a potential piece.
