Summary
Before there was a LeBron, Luka, or an Anthony Davis, there were the "Baby Lakers" -- a group of young draftees and G-League finds the team developed at the tail end and in the aftermath of the Kobe Bryant era and into when the team signed LeBron. Pete and Darius discuss this group of past players, how each of the conference finals teams has one of these former Lakers on their roster in a contributing role, and why as the team begins to build around Luka Dončić this sort of success from the draft and G-League can help the Lakers build out the depth they need to contend.
