4. Donte DiVincenzo, SG, Villanova

You want to talk about athleticism, Donte DiVincenzo has that and more. A shooting guard also from Villanova who has made a name for himself during this year’s NCAA Tournament.

DiVincenzo averaged 13.4 points, almost five rebounds, and 3.5 assists this past season for Villanova. His best game was the National Championship game against Michigan where he scored 31 points off the bench and helped Villanova win the NCAA Title.

He impressed at the draft combine with one of the highest verticals at 41 inches. That is where the athleticism comes along.

DiVincenzo is quick on his feet and would be a great fit for the Lakers due to his 3-point shooting, a trait that the Lakers struggled with last season. He shoots the three at a high clip, knocking down 40 percent from behind the arc.

He was also a former teammate of Josh Hart as well. That could also play a part should DiVincenzo be drafted at No. 25 by the Lakers.
