What if they all stayed

Hello OS community,
I pray everyone that reads my blog are doing well and safe in this crazy time we're having. With that being said I'm a Lakers fan and experienced seeing Magic Lakers vs Bird Celtics battles for the title, Kobe's Lakers run to now LeBron's run at it with the Lakers (OK, I still mumble with saying LeBron's Lakers for some reason). I thought this might be a fun topic of what if all of the recent Lakers draft picks stayed together? Such as D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr, Julius Randle, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac, Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, I'll even throw in Ryan Kelly.

That's from 2013 to 2018 of drafted players all gone, except Kyle Kuzma all playing for other teams. That's almost a full roster and if they all were still playing with the Lakers today would be like "the Avengers Marvel universe" change of paths for the other players the Lakers have right? LeBron James, Anthony Davis, etc...For sake of time and writing I would hope this would add some "fun" to everyone's thoughts and feedback. It did for me when I added them all on the 2k20 Lakers roster to see how they played together against the other teams.
Try it and everyone be safe and well.
