Impacts LA, Jeanie Buss reveals who she credits the NBA Draft success in the Lakers

One of the strongest elements the LA Lakers have is the scouting department, as has been proven by what the team has been able to do in the last few years when finding new talent.

Most of the time, Rob Pelinka takes the credit because he is the team's General Manager and in the NBA Drafts is the one to make the calls to the new Lakers.

But now Jeanie Buss has given credit to her brothers Joey and Jesse Buss. "I have to give a lot of credit to my brother, Joey Buss, who oversees our development with our G League team, and my brother, Jesse Buss, who is in charge of all of our scouting. He has done a terrific job not only with our draft picks but also identifying players that aren’t drafted and bringing them to our G-League team, our summer league team, and giving players opportunities to be seen."

"Even if they get called up by another team, we’re happy for those players that we’ve identified. Giving talent opportunities to make our league is important to us. We will continue to do that. They have identified players that fit the system and the style of play that Darvin Ham wants to play."

Jeanie Buss is happy with the current Lakers' organization

Buss believes that everyone is on the same page "Between Rob, Joey, Jesse, and Coach Ham, we’re all on the same page as to what type of Laker basketball we want to play. When you’re all in agreement and unison, that’s when great things happen. That’s when players get an opportunity to shine. That led to the kind of success that we saw and will continue to build on from the end of last season."
