NBA Draft 2025 Player Development

[thomas1897]

The Lakers can use their resources wisely. Hansen Yang could be a good prospect to select. Consider his assets and upside. Size matters and is he teachable and physical enough to play in the NBA within two years or less. Can JJ Reddick place him in the G league and summer camps to develop a good NBA center. Remember Zubac's development took some time. The Lakers have used recycled players and misfits to fix this problem at the number 5 position. Could Colin Castleton have been better? The Lakers are a now team, but player development is not on the agenda. The G league is bankrupt investing in young talent player development are absent. Purchasing a second-round draft pick could be a worthy investment if the management has any type of plan.

With the new ownership group in place I'm optimistic they offer a good chunk of cash considerations for a better 2nd round pick. I don't expect Hansen Yang or similar prospects will be there at 55 but if we can move up to early 40s or maybe even 30s that will be great.
