The NBA draft is just one week away so it’s time for a Los Angeles Lakers 2023 NBA Mock Draft! With their first pick at No. 17 overall, we selected Jett Howard from the Michigan Wolverines. Howard, the son of long-time NBA vet Juwan Howard, has been the subject of Lakers draft rumors ever since he put his name in the hat for the 2023 NBA draft. In the second round at No. 47 overall, the Lakers take Julian Strawher from the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Strawther could be a gem of a second-round pick in the NBA Draft, and the Lakers could use more versatile wings alongside guys like LeBron James and Rui Hachmura.

Kevin O’Connor via The Ringer on Jett Howard draft rumors:
“Knockdown 3-point shooter with the potential to hit off movement. He’s also comfortable pulling up from midrange and loves using a floater. High-IQ wing who knows how to be a playmaker, not just a scorer. He thrives in NBA-style actions, a lot like Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks do for the Grizzlies. He’ll slingshot around screens or handoffs toward the middle of the floor, take a dribble to draw the defense, and then fire a pass to a big man rolling to the basket.”

Kevin O’Connor via The Ringer on Julian Strawther draft rumors:
“Improved as a shooter every collegiate season, turning from a low-volume non-threat to a high-volume flamethrower off the catch. Gonzaga runs him off screens and Strawther does a good job of fluidly getting himself set for his shots. And now, he’s even pulling up from deep behind the arc. Decisive ball handler who can run an occasional pick-and-roll, though he’s best-suited playing off-ball in an NBA offense to take advantage of his ability to attack a rotating defense, relocate, or cut to the basket.”

I dont like jett howard, you get no defense he's basically a Cole Swider. I rather go for someone like Derrick Lively if he's still there at 17. He would be a perfect fit with AD. As for the 47th pick I would go with either Noah Clowney, Maxwell Lewis or Bradin if he's still at 47.
Derek Lively
