As a basketball fan, I also know a thing or two about the Lakers' history and decision-making. As far as I know, the Lakers did consider using the No. 17 pick in the 2017 draft to draft Harkes, but ultimately chose Schifino. From the perspective of now, whether the Lakers regret this decision or not may vary depending on personal opinion.
Some people think that if the Lakers had chosen Harkes back then, maybe the team's results would have been better. After all, Harkes did well after entering the league and became a very good player. However, there are also those who believe that Schifino also has an integral role in the Lakers, and his performance and contributions are also part of the team's success.
From a Lakers insider's perspective, the choice between Harkes and Schifino was deliberate. There are many factors that teams need to consider, including the talent of the players, their adaptability, the team's tactical system, and more. Moreover, the draft pick does not completely determine a player's future development, and many low picks or even undrafted picks can gain a foothold in the NBA through their own hard work and talent.
So, I don't think we can simply say whether the Lakers regret not picking Hawks. This is a complex issue that involves a lot of factors and variables. Most importantly, the Lakers, as a successful basketball team, always adhere to the goal of striving for excellence and victory, constantly striving and improving.
