Los Angeles Lakers: Draft Profile

Even though the Lakers are the Celtic's bitter rivals, you still have to give them some props for thier success over thelast couple of years. They have been able to take the Celts down lately with thier overall team chemistry. Do not get me wrong the Lakers do have some superstars on thier team but they are able to play well together and almost always have a solid record. The Lakers are 15th in points per game with 97.3, 2nd in rebounds per game with 46.2 and 7ht in assists per game with 22.5. The Lakers are all set down low with Gasol and Bynum so they should probably be looking for a point guard or someone who can take over for Kobe Bryant when he retires. The Lakers are actually projected to get the last pick in the draft and that is it. With that slot they will probably not be able to find the best talent at guard. The only way for the Lakers to get a soid player who could have an impact is if they trade up. If the Lakers do trade up to a mid second round they could snag someone like Kim English or J'Covan Brown. They could both come in and shadow eithr Kobe Bryant or Ramon Sessions until thier tie is over. Personally I think brown who be the better fit for the akers because he is more of a prime time scorer and he has more assists than English. Brown only stands at 6-1 but is one of the more quick guards in the NCAA. He is able to make his way to the basket and score or dish it out to one of the big men. He could be a huge factor coming off the bench. The big men in LA are already top notch but if they have one more guard that can get them the ball, the Lakers could have the steel of the draft.
