Jones was the final pick of the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft. He bounced around from the Warriors, to the Hawks, to the Clippers, to the Lakers, to the Kings. He is now a Laker yet again after playing there during the 2021 season.
Brown, an undrafted player, is now one of 13 Klutch Sports clients that have been with Los Angeles since the 2017 season began. Walker gained favor with the Lakers by playing for the San Antonio Spurs and five-time NBA Finals-winning coach Gregg Popovich. He was also a former first round pick.
