Jabari Parker still has a decision to make on entering the 2014 NBA Draft or staying with the Duke Blue Devils for sophomore season in college, but that won't stop him from thinking about the pros and what team he would play for ... such as the Los Angeles Lakers.
Parker talked about the idea of him going to the Lakers. Los Angeles has a chance to draft the likes of Parker, Andrew Wiggins or Joel Embiid in June's draft since they will be a lottery team.
Getting Parker would be a huge for them and the Duke forward says he wouldn't mind wearing purple-and-gold.
"Being here would be a blessing," Parker said, via LakersNation.
Parker could end up becoming the heir to Kobe Bryant and it could help Los Angeles save some money at the small forward position now that they wouldn't have to go after Luol Deng in free agency. This leaves the option for them to go after a young point guard or a big man.
Plus, Kobe says he can mentor Parker.
