Lakers Enter Draft Day Without a Pick
2022 NBA Draft Recap and Analysis
Pelicans Hold Lakers' First-Round Pick
Entering the 2022 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers found themselves in an unusual position: they did not own a single pick. The Pelicans, their division rivals, held their first-round pick as part of a previous trade agreement.
The Lakers' lack of draft capital this year raised questions about their long-term plans and their ability to address their roster needs. However, the team remained optimistic, with rumors swirling that they were exploring potential trades to acquire picks or players.
Ultimately, the Lakers did not make any significant moves on draft night. They watched as Paolo Banchero went third overall to the Orlando Magic and other talented prospects were selected by teams around the league. Despite their lack of picks, the Lakers remain hopeful that they can improve their roster through free agency and other roster moves.
