NBA Draft 2024: Top 3 options for Los Angeles Lakers with the 17th overall pick
1. PG, Isaiah Collier, USC
One of the most intriguing players that the Los Angeles Lakers could jump on at 17 is USC guard Isaiah Collier. Collier had a very solid freshman season, however, overshadowed by the team's minimal success. He remained one of the few bright spots that led the way for the Trojans.
Collier is a combo guard with key playmaking attributes, Collier averaged 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals on 49.0% shooting from the field and 33.8% from three.

Upside-wise, there aren't many in this draft with more than him. He was the number one ranked prospect coming out of the class of 2023, was a McDonald’s All-American, and was a finalist for Naismith Boys High School Player of the Year. Overall, this is a great option for Rob Pelinka and the Lakers with the 17th overall pick.
