Lakers Eye Duke Brennan in Draft

The Lakers are on the hunt for a true big man to fill the void since Anthony Davis left, and with the 25th pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, they’ve got a golden opportunity. Duke Brennan from Villanova, averaging over 12 points and 10 rebounds — a rare feat for a Villanova player since the ’80s — is emerging as a top target. With Tony Bennett on board to scout hidden gems, the Lakers are quietly evaluating workouts and even eyeing trades for extra picks. They’re also keeping an eye on undrafted talent, like Austin Reaves, to find diamonds in the rough. As the draft nears, expect a flurry of workouts — and a push to build a Western Conference contender through smart, strategic drafting.
