LA has a 15.6 percent chance of winning the No. 1 pick, 38.7 percent chance of it being a top-two pick and 46.9 percent chance of it remaining in the top-three. This is exactly why Lakers fans were panicking with each late-season win during their five-game winning str

But the 19-year-old out of Duke possibly has the biggest upside of all the players from this draft with his length and multiple skill set. He has shown, even under difficult circumstances, that he has real talent and can develop into a star in this league. He may not be the man to bring the Lakers back just yet, but he should be part of the process and play his p
James has made the finals a ridiculous six straight times with two different teams, losing in the finals to Dallas with the Miami Heat and then beating Oklahoma City. The Heat then topped and then were topped by San Antonio in consecutive years before he moved on to Cleveland for a two-year split with the Warri
