Wow. The Lakers jumped all the way up from the 11th slot to the No. 4 position. They had just a 9.4% chance to get in the top 4, and with @kylekuzma representing, they did so. https://t.co/nT8eXRfFh9

Former Lakers President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson, who essential quit on the team last month, decided to tweet out words of encouragement to the Laker nation.
Laker Nation, Kyle Kuzma worked his magic to get the number 4 pick for our @Lakers in the NBA draft! The Lakers are going to get a really good young player to help LeBron and the team next season.
