"Undrafted Gators sign with Lakers, but team still has major needs to fill"

Jalen Hood-Schifino, the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round pick, believes he is an all-around player who can play both ends of the floor and guard any position.

Lakers' Draft Picks and Needs: A Look Ahead.

The Los Angeles Lakers considered drafting Cam Whitmore with their No. 17 pick in the NBA draft, but ultimately chose Jalen Hood-Schifino as a "surer bet." Whitmore, who was projected to go as high as No. 4, fell to No. 20 due to concerns about a knee injury and behavior at team workouts. Hood-Schifino's skillset is similar to that of Dennis Schroder, who is a free agent, giving the Lakers the option to let Schroder walk without losing his skillset. Lakers GM Rob Pelinka believes Hood-Schifino will be an impact rotational player in his first season.

The Los Angeles Lakers have high hopes for their first-round pick Jalen Hood-Schifino, believing he can develop into a complementary fit next to Austin Reaves. The Lakers reportedly plan to re-sign Reaves, who is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason. Hood-Schifino, who played for Indiana University, averaged 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game during his lone season with the Hoosiers. The Lakers reportedly rejected trade offers for their No. 17 pick before taking the guard.

Lakers bet on future with Jalen Hood-Schifino draft pick.

The Los Angeles Lakers prioritized their future over their present by selecting Jalen Hood-Schifino and Maxwell Lewis in the NBA Draft and not making any trades. The Lakers valued the opportunity to select Hood-Schifino, who they believe is an NBA-ready prospect capable of assuming a rotation role. Lewis, on the other hand, is more of a project but has the type of upside that teams seek in the second round. The Lakers' frontcourt is largely set, so they were primarily looking at bigger guards and wings with the No. 17 pick. The Lakers view Hood-Schifino as capable of playing either backcourt position and developing into a complementary fit next to restricted free agent Austin Reaves, who the Lakers intend to re-sign this offseason.

The Los Angeles Lakers considered Cam Whitmore before selecting Jalen Hood-Schifino in the 2023 NBA draft.

The Lakers ultimately went with Hood-Schifino, who has a long development road ahead but is expected to take a significant leap as a shooter under the team's coaching staff.
