With 20 days before the NBA draft lottery, the Los Angeles Lakers will have their last number one overall pick, James Worthy, represent the team. While the franchise ended their season with the sixth worst record in the NBA, they have a 6.3 percent chance of landing the first overall pick. Although Arizona’s Aaron Gordon has been Los Angeles’ pick in the last two mock drafts, Indiana’s Noah Vonleh has moved up the board at number six.
