After talking with some other NBA beat writers I have a few changes to the first round of the upcoming draft. Some teams may not draft for need afterall...

I have been informed that somehow Australian sensation Dante Exum may end up a Los Angeles Laker. Don't know if this happens by trade or if he simply falls, but the front office is campaigning to bring him to LA. Ironically, he has been a "Laker" in uniform already at UC Secondary College Lake Ginninderra.
