List of Los Angeles Lakers first and second round draft picks

The Los Angeles Lakers joined the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1948 as the Minneapolis Lakers, but moved to Los Angeles, California in 1960, where they have been located ever since. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, which they share with fellow NBA team the Los Angeles Clippers, and their sister team the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. [ [http://www.staplescenter.com/doublecol.php?section=about&page=aboutstaplescenter Staples Center :: About :: About STAPLES Center] ] The Minneapolis Lakers took its official name from Minnesota's nickname, Land of 10,000 Lakes. The Lakers name is still used in the franchise. [cite book |author=Reavis, Tracey|title=The Official NBA Basketball Encyclopedia | year=2000 | publisher= Doubleday|isbn=978-0385501309] The Lakers are generally regarded as one of the NBA's most successful franchises.

To help teams acquire local players, territorial picks were instituted from its inception in 1950 until 1965. Territorial picks were used as a type of special draft choice used in the NBA Draft. Prior to the league's draft, a team could forfeit its first round draft pick and select a player from within convert|50|mi|km|lk=off. Territorial picks were then eliminated when the draft was revamped in 1966.cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/history/draft_evolution.html |title=Evolution of the Draft and Lottery |publisher=NBA.com |accessdate=2008-06-08] Before the 1989 NBA Draft, the draft had more than two rounds. After 1989, the NBA agreed with the National Basketball Players' Association to limit drafts to two rounds.cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/history/draft_evolution.html |title=Evolution of the Draft and Lottery |publisher=NBA.com |accessdate=2008-03-18] Teams can also trade their picks, so some years a team could have more than or less than two picks.

At the time the NBA Draft started, the NBA was called BAA, the abbreviation for the Basketball Association of America. The Lakers selected Chuck Hanger with their first pick, ninth overall in the 1948 BAA Draft. The Lakers got their first first overall draft pick in 1958 by choosing Elgin Baylor, who went on to be selected as the only NBA Rookie of the Year to be on the Lakers. [cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/history/awards_rookieofyear.html|title=NBA POSTSEASON AWARDS: Rookie of the Year |publisher=NBA.com|accessdate=2008-06-08] The Lakers also drafted Magic Johnson in 1979 with their second first overall pick, who was rated the greatest NBA point guard of all time by ESPN in 2007.

The Lakers had no first or second round draft picks from 1983, 1987, and 2001. Throughout the years, the Lakers had traded away some of their picks as well as traded for other teams' picks. As a result of the various trades, the Los Angeles Lakers had five first and second round picks in 1979.
