Is Jordan Clarkson ready to be the Lakers full-time, starting point guard? Next season is Kobe's swan song--who is waiting in the wings?
Wesley Johnson still has some maddingly untapped potential, but he has not really asserted himself?
Can Julius Randle recover from his injury to become the Lakers starting forward?
Jordan Hill posted decent stats (12 pts, 7 rbs, .7 blks per 16.21 min), but has not played with the energy expected of him?

Center- preferably a rim protector with length.

For some reason the Center option is not showing up on the poll question, so just write it down like Kikanga did.
Is Center the Lakers biggest need? Does Jordan Hill have enough energy in the tank for a full season?

Center (but since not on the poll so I picked SF).
Jordan Hill should NOT be on the team next season

His energy isn't the issue.
Jordan just simply isn't a starting caliber center.
As a backup he's solid, but we need a big man who is gonna rebound, finish inside, not jack up ill advised jump shots and be able to be the last line of defense and switch on pick and rolls. |

Center is the correct answer here.
SF is the 2nd most answer. |

Not sure why you left Center off the poll. Hill was not a center. Sacre is third string.
Getting a legitimate center (or two) with size that can defend and rebound is critical IMO. Also makes all the other positions better. All the PFs the Lakers currently have on the roster are role players and backups at center.
Whether it be be by free agency or draft. Marquee or second tier. It does not matter how they address it but the Lakers need some legitimate centers. |

why no center option. Wes sucks, but good teams own the paint. hill can board and score but plays no defense and weak. we are going to pay kobe that money so we have a 4 randle 1 clarkson and a wing kobe... no center tho.. davis black hill are all more of power forwards |

1)C
2)SF
3)PG
1) We have no Centers.
2) We have one Crappy SF.
3) Lin is gone, so we're left with a SG playing PG. |

Pretty much my needs list too. So Towns, Anderson and Lucas would work for you?
That is just one of my variations in the draft i would be thrilled with. |

Lin isn't gone. He said himself he'll still consider re-signing with the Lakers.
Clarkson isn't a 2 guard. He's a point guard and he clearly showed this swaoan he's more than capable of holding down the position. |

It was unintentional. I created a 5th option in the poll for "Center", then I clicked the submit button, but for some reason it did not show up.
By the way, this is just FYI, Eldon Campbell was taken by the Lakers at #27. As far as the draft is concerned, beyond the players expected to go in the top 10, there is Dakari Johnson who is an interesting prospect, but he will be a project.
