LA Lakers

Several mock drafts have Lonzo Ball going to the Lakers, and I understand why the team would want him. The Lakers need a star, and Ball has the potential to be that star.

However, Jackson seems like a sure thing at a position of need for the Lakers. Jackson is a versatile player who is exceptionally good at passing for someone at his position. A starting five of Russell, Ingram, Jackson, Randle, and Zubac with Clarkson the first player off the bench would be lethal.
