The Los Angeles Lakers seem to have an obvious choice with the second pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
I'll tell you this, the Lakers were doing back-flips after Kobe's pre-draft workout. That rumor has since been refuted, but with this latest news that he canceled his meeting with the Celtics yesterday, it's looking more and more like he's LA-bound. "He's obviously more of a combo guard that can play both guard spots, similar to the way that Dwyane Wade was when he came out of Marquette".
"Team-wise, I think that the Lakers are a better fit", said the never-shutting mouth of LaVar.
The plan was for Fox to have lunch with Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson, general manager Rob Pelinka, coach Luke Walton and other team brass after the workout.

Maci's son Bentley made him an adorable card that said, "You are the best stepdad ever", which definitely melted our hearts. Catelynn admitted she told Amber that he gave her the pill to help her out during a panic attack, which surprised her.

The Lakers may need some shooters, especially if Nick Young opts out of his player option and goes elsewhere. He's someone who has basketball in his blood with both his parents being wonderful players. Fox, again has received interest from the Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers, which have the Nos. He did have a good meeting with them, but it will take more than that to convince them that he's the one they should draft. 5 and 10. The Kings can play the patient game and wait to see if Fox will fall to them at No. 5. Jackson touted his quickness, versatility, athleticism and passing. You don't judge a player on just one game, obviously.
The Lakers were still taken with LaVar's other qualities, but they felt that his conditioning wasn't where it needed to be ahead of the workout. He shot 47.8% overall and averaged 16.7 points and 4.6 assists during his one season with the Wildcats.
