Summary

The Lakers have already had a busy week, and it gets busier today, with Day 1 of the NBA Draft (that's a new thing). With all the talk of player development coming with the hiring of JJ Redick, as well as Rob Pelinka talking Monday about the challenges of making trades in the new CBA, it does seem like a strong possibility that the Lakers use the pick. With that in mind, where should they be focused? On the best player available, regardless of position? Trying to fill a specific need or skill set? Is there a way to align those things in a constructive way, where, say the guys that really do make the most sense happen to fill some positional/roster needs? Like a true wing? A real center? While this draft isn't considered all that impressive at the top, there does seem to be a good amount of depth available, meaning teams like the Lakers who are drafting in the middle might have a better chance to get an impact player than they otherwise might. It's a big year for scouting, because the variance in draft rankings across different teams in the league could be pretty vast. So what should the Lakers do? To break it down, Mike Garcia (@canyondriver) joins the show. He's quickly become a favorite for draft-curious Lakers fans, and has some great insight to offer about what the Lakers should do tonight. We walk through many of the names associated with LA at 17, and then a few of his favorites that could be available. Want a big? He's got some names. A wing? He's got you covered. In the second round, some projections have Bronny James going to the Lakers at 55. Many people think this is more a novelty act than any meaningful basketball move. Mike explains why he'd be thrilled to get Bronny at that spot. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky with Mike Garcia SEGMENT 1: It's Draft day! What should the Lakers do with their pick?
