Just when you thought the top-2 picks in the 2017 NBA Draft were locked in, Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders reported that the Lakers are not completely sold on drafting Lonzo Ball, and are still considering De’Aaron Fox at #2.

As of this afternoon Lakers still have not committed to Lonzo Ball (not uncommon) and indicated De'Aaron Fox still under real consideration

Not sure anyone in the NBA buys the idea of Lakers passing on Ball, but illustrates Lakers being very deliberate in this draft.

This is of particular interest to the Kings for a few reasons.

Above all else, this is a bad rumor. It doesn’t make a ton of sense, but Kyler has been right on occasion, so, make of it what you will.
