Lakers Draft nugget number four: The Los Angeles Lakers will have a chance to draft him!
Here are some of the other media outlets that weighed in on Josh Christopher.
Fox Sports: Utah Jazz land Josh Christopher at No. 30
Jason McIntyre:
"“There are a few guards in the mix at this spot — Quentin Grimes of Houston, Josh Primo of Alabama (youngest player in the draft) — but I landed on Christopher because of his aggressive scoring ability. He played only 15 games as a freshman but topped 20 points three times, and two of them came against high-level competition (Villanova and UCLA).”"
CBS Sports: Utah Jazz take Josh Christopher at No. 30
Colin Ward-Henninger:
"“Josh Christopher has all the upside you want in a late first-rounder, and is somewhat of a mystery since he only played 15 games at Arizona State. He has NBA athleticism and creates tremendous space off the dribble with a confident mid-range and 3-point stroke. Utah can give him time to develop, but if he impresses early there could be a rotation spot up for grabs.”"
While other outlets have Christopher in the second round.
