What I love about this trade is we keep #17 pick in this draft to use for a backup center. Candidates include Kyle Filipowski, Zach Edey, and Kel'el Ware. All 3 are 7-footers projected to go around #17 who would be great prospects as back up centers. Lakers fill 2 of 3 needs. https://t.co/deaXnBaSuq

Need a quality backup center. #17 has shot at three good ones.
This is going to be an interesting off-season. I don’t know what Rob got in his sleeves. A quality backup center should obviously be at the top of the list.
