1. Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers keep being mentioned more and more as we get closer and closer to the draft. Lonzo’s father has expressed how much he wants them to pick his son, and the Lakers have also expressed their infatuation with Ball.

Ball would be playing on the brightest stage with the most pressure to perform well, on the team his dad wants him to play for, that he grew up a few hours from.

The high pressures may be too much but Ball seems to handle the pressure well so far. The reason this pick is a little strange is the fact that just a few years ago the Lakers picked D’Angelo Russell as their point guard of the future. Still, the Lakers may be the best fit for Lonzo, but only time and the draft will tell.
