The Los Angeles Lakers "appear to be enamored" by Lonzo Ball.

Ball has star potential, wants to play for the Lakers and grew up in the Los Angeles area.

The Lakers must stay in the top-3 in the lottery in order to keep their pick and would likely need a top-2 pick in order to have a chance of drafting Ball.

The Lakers already have D'Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson in their backcourt, but their new regime doesn't appear committed long-term to either player.
