By the time the Lakers picked in the NBA Draft there wasn’t much left to choose from so they selected shooting guard Joe Crawford. Crawford is 6′5″, 207 pounds and he’s a polished player. He played in 127 games (76 starts) at Kentucky and he averaged 11.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Don’t look for him to get much playing time in the near future for the Lakers as he will be way too far down the depth chart.
