The 2017 NBA Draft is finally here. As of now, the Los Angeles Lakers have three picks in the first round. How does the rest of the first round look?

It has been a wild couple of days leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft for the Los Angeles Lakers. With the second overall pick in the draft, there has been a ton of speculation about who they will be taking with the first pick.

In addition to having the second overall pick, the Lakers also have the 27th and 28th picks in the first round. Because of a surprising deal that sent D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers were able to get the 27th pick in return along with Brook Lopez.

With three picks in the first round, the Lakers might decide to try and make a package to acquire Paul George from the Indiana Pacers.

Here is a complete list of the first round courtesy of SportingNews.com.

"1.) Philadelphia 76ers (from Celtics via Nets)2.) Los Angeles Lakers3.) Boston Celtics (from 76ers via Kings)4.) Phoenix Suns5.) Sacramento Kings (from 76ers)6.) Orlando Magic7.) Minnesota Timberwolves8.) New York Knicks9.)  Dallas Mavericks10.) Sacramento Kings (from Pelicans)11.) Charlotte Hornets12.) Detroit Pistons13.) Denver Nuggets14.) Miami Heat15.) Portland Trail Blazers16.) Chicago Bulls17.) Milwaukee Bucks18.) Indiana Pacers19.) Atlanta Hawks20.) Portland Trail Blazers (from Grizzlies)21.) Oklahoma City Thunder22.)

L.A. Lakers (from Rockets)29.) San Antonio Spurs30.) Utah Jazz (from Warriors)"

If the days leading up to the draft were any indication, this list will likely change drastically. The Lakers have already altered this draft order once, and could certainly do it again if they acquire George.
