Lonzo Ball is the topic of many Lakers rumors lately.

As more players continue to declare for the NBA draft, there will be Lakers rumors not regarding Lonzo Ball.

What if I told you there are players who have had a great season quietly and that LA should pursue them?

In all positions the draft class for 2017 is extremely talented and skilled.

There are many talented athletic players declaring for the draft other than Lonzo Ball.  I did my best to pick three players not named Lonzo Ball. It was difficult but I narrowed my list down to three underdog players the Lakers should draft.
