Although the Los Angeles Lakers did not get the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, it was still a huge win to get in the top four. In this article we will take a look at four potential players the Lakers should take with the fourth pick in the draft.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a number of options with the 4th pick. There still is the possibility that they make a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans, to try and acquire Anthony Davis. We know the Lakers attempted to bring in Davis by the trade deadline but it fell through.

For this article, we will use the premise that the trade talks fall through again or Lakers choose not to trade the pick and just bring in a rookie to help push the franchise in the right direction.

We will also assume in this article that, Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, and RJ Barrett will be drafted in that specific order. Obviously, this could all change if one of those three players is somehow still available when the Lakers are on the clock.

The slides will be in order from 4-1. 1 being the Lakers top choice in the draft and 4 being a player that they could also potentially use.

We will have to see in the coming weeks which direction the Lakers will choose to go, whether or not to keep the pick and bring in a rookie or trade the pick to try and land Anthony Davis.

Without further ado, here are four players the Lakers should target with the fourth pick.
