2025 NBA mock draft roundup: Can Lakers find a center through the draft?
Briefly

As the NBA Draft approaches, the Lakers are focusing on their No. 55 pick, historically making valuable selections even in the second round. Last year, Bronny James showed promise, alongside other successful picks like Svi Mykhailiuk and Ivica Zubac. They've even nurtured undrafted talent, such as Austin Reaves. With Rob Pelinka emphasizing the need for a center, they look to mock drafts that suggest potential candidates like international prospect Mouhamed Faye and college standout Eric Dixon, highlighting the strategy of finding talent in overlooked areas.
"Mouhamed Faye's defensive range is the draw, though he's also used his size and quick leaping to rack up 59 dunks so far this year."
"President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka stated he would explore 'every single unturned stone' to find a center, this upcoming draft is the first place to start."
