Laker Draft Picks

As mentioned earlier, Lakers had four second-round picks in tonight's draft.

Here are the players they drafted:

• 41st: G Darius Morris, from Michigan
• 46th: G Andrew Goudelock, from College of Charleston
• 56th: F Chukwudiebere Maduabum, from Nigeria (go ahead, try to pronounce it!)
• 58th: F Ater Majok

Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak has already suggested either Maduabum or Majok could be traded later tonight, with the other going to Europe.

Lakers are also still waiting on whether Shannon Brown will exercise or decline his player option.

This could greatly affect the training camp roster and whether or not Gouldelock has a chance to make the team or not.

Meanwhile, Cleveland took Duke G Kyrie Irving with the first overall pick.

Arizona F Derrick Williams went second overall to Minnesota.

And two UCLA players were drafted, as well.

F Tyler Honeycutt was drafted in the second round by the Kings with 35th pick.

G Malcolm Lee was drafted by the Bulls with 53rd pick.

Metta World Peace.

No joke.
