Draft Review: Los Angeles Lakers

Second Round
Ryan Kelly, PF/C Duke (48)
Sometimes, despite how many flaws a prospect has, the team that drafts them is such a perfect fit that you can help but thing they will succeed. Ryan Kelly is not athletic, he doesn't rebound well, and will struggle defensively but is such a great fit in Mike D'Antoni's offense that I would be surprised if he didn't get playing time for L.A. Kelly is a very good shooter and passer and will fill that role as a floor-stretching big very well in this system.

Projected Rotation
PG: Steve Nash/Steve Blake
SG: Kobe Bryant (when healthy)/Jodie Meeks
SF: Metta World Peace/???
PF: Paul Gasol/Antawn Jamison
C: Jordan Hill/Ryan Kelly
