2. WANTED TO GO #2 IN THE DRAFT
Lonzo Ball stated that he was willing to drop to #2 in the draft rather than being picked first overall if it meant he’d be drafted by the Lakers.
It just made too much sense. Lonzo’s love for LA and the Lakers, his close relationship with his family that is based in LA, and his love for the #2, all lined up to being drafted by the Lakers second overall.
