Did the Lakers blow the last few drafts?

Ultimately the way for any team to build a strong foundation is drafting well.

Kuzma and Hart were steals.

Svi and Wagner no problem, too early to tell.

D'Angelo, Ingram and Lonzo at #2?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Russell screwed himself by snitching and ultimately got us off the mozgov contract and got us the pick that I believe turned into kuzma so that may have been worthwhile in a backhanded way.

Ingram and Lonzo have skills but they're not really stars, which is what you would want from a #2 pick. Right now the Lakers are hoping that they grow into more than they seem to be right now. Is it just a question of time or do they not have it in them, were they mistakes?

Do Kuzma and Hart make up for Ingram and Lonzo if they don't grow more?

Your ideas?
