The Los Angeles Lakers will have a few talented players to choose from with the 25^th pick in the NBA Draft. Here are three reasons why they should draft Jalen Brunson.

After improving last season, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to take another step forward in the 2018-19 season. Last season, the Lakers were able to have one of the more talented rosters that we have seen in recent years, as they had a very strong offseason.

Thanks to three first-round picks, the Lakers were able to add three players to the talented young core they have been developing. The strong draft for the Lakers resulted in three players that look like they will be important players for years to come.

At the start of the season, the Lakers didn’t have a first-round pick due to their rights being traded away a few years ago. However, Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka were able to get a deal done with the Cleveland Cavaliers to acquire their first-round pick.

Now, the Lakers have the 25^th overall pick and will be hoping to add another young star to their core. In recent years, the Lakers have been drafting very well and there are some appealing prospects that are projected to be on the board when the Lakers will be on the clock.

One of the players that could be there is Villanova guard Jalen Brunson. After a great career in college, here are three reasons why the Lakers should select him with the 25^th overall pick.
