Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakersnation.com podcast.

I'm Trevor Lane. You can find me over on Twitter at Trevor underscore Lane.

Joined today by Sean Davis. Find him at Sean underscore D-A-V-I.

Sean, it's 10 days away. The NBA draft, it's almost here.

Yeah, the NBA finals are playing game five tonight. Yeah, kind of over it. Kind of over it. It's 3-1. We know the way the series is going to go. I was hoping, Sean, I was hoping for this series to go seven games just because more basketball. At this point, though, now that it's 3-1, Denver, we all know what's going to happen. Just get get it done so we can move on just finish it tonight so we can move on to other stuff including the NBA

draft coming up on the 26th that that's where my head is at right now yes please Miami Spoh

Jimmy I love you but like let's wrap it up wrap it it up. Get this series over with go full-fledged into the off-season.

I'm ready, man.

Love this time of year.

We're on the no-sleep, like late nights, early mornings for the next like three weeks, four weeks maybe even.

So I love this time here.

Well, and there is, there's a lot of information that tends to come out after after the

finals finish because the NBA they don't want that kind of stuff out right now because they

want everybody to be focused on the finals. But once it's done then you're going to get that kind of the dam is going to burst and we're

going to start hearing about who's targeting who in free agency who's going to do what draft

night trades all that kind of stuff is going to start coming out a lot more frequently so

it's weird because it's almost like you know the NBA has their they're kind of their second

season right that's not well i guess the playoffs of their second season, right? That's not, well, I guess the playoffs, really, the second season, I guess third season, right? The off season, which is the NBA offseason destroys the offseason for any other sports, not even close. For sure. But we can't really like officially start it, even though we're all ready to until the finals end. So just end it tonight, Denver, so we can just get past it, get out of the way. So we can move on and focus in on what's going to be a crazy off season. On today's show, we're going to look at the draft. That's going to be our focal point for this show. We're going to take a look at the, Sean is fired up for this. We're going to take a look at a consensus mock draft

mistakes, mock drafts from a number of different places, compiles them together, and then see

what that means for the Lakers with the 17th pick in the draft. Before we get into it, Sean,

should the Lakers at 17 be drafting best player available or for fit?

I knew you plugged my Twitter account for a reason.
