The Lakers' opportunity to kickstart the Luka DonÄiÄ era arrives in late June 2025 during the NBA Draft. Holding only a late second-round pick (No. 55), they face the challenge of finding valuable talent at that stage, similar to when they selected Bronny James last season. Although the Lakers have successfully developed second-round or undrafted players in the past, they are considering strategies to move up in the draft. Current mock drafts suggest focusing on a center, with candidates like Vladislav Goldin and a contrasting undersized player being projected as potential picks.
In late June 2025, the Lakers will begin to shape the Luka DonÄiÄ era through the NBA Draft, holding the 55th pick.
The Lakers are likely to focus on acquiring a center, with Vladislav Goldin emerging as a top mock draft selection.
