Lonzo Ball has been largely linked to the Los Angeles Lakers since they secured the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft at last week's draft lottery in New York.

Ball has made his desire to be drafted by the Lakers well-known, and Lakers President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson may be intrigued by Ball's abilities, but him being selected by the Lakers at the second spot is not a lock.

According to Jonathan Givony of Draft Express, the Lakers will take a long look at Kentucky guard De'Aaron Fox as their potential pick at number two.

Word out of LA is Lonzo Ball is heavy favorite at #2, but will take a long hard look at De'Aaron Fox too. Hoping for a head to head workout. — Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) May 17, 2017

Fox shot up mock draft boards after a stellar NCAA tournament performance, which included a 39-point explosion in a victory over Ball's UCLA squad.

Though they're interested in Fox, Ball is still the heavy favorite to be selected second, per Givony, and the Lakers are hoping to have a head-to-head workout between the two point prospects.
