Croatian-born Dragan Bender has made a headline as an international basketball sensation trailing behind LSU’s Ben Simmons and Duke’s Brandon Ingram as one of the top NBA draft favorites. Having fallen out of LA Lakers’ initial interest, the next prospective destination is Boston Celtics with their overall No.3 pick.
Recent speculations point to a possible trade of Lakers’ D'Angelo Russell for Jazz's Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors. While Lakers feel quite secured with their second top pick with the prospective drafting of either Brandon Ingram or Ben Simmons, the team needs Hayward and Favors to strengthen their shoddy defense.
