The Los Angeles Lakers’ front office has come under fire over the last several years for several reasons, but it seems like it has gotten its act together lately.
The team rescued itself from mediocrity by executing multiple trades midway through this past season, including the big Russell Westbrook trade. But the area in which it has perhaps excelled more than others is drafting. It has found a number of gems deep in the draft over the years while also hitting on a couple of undrafted players such as Austin Reaves.
