On May 26, Beijing time, there is still about a month before the 2024 NBA Draft, and before June 2, the Pelicans need to decide whether to take the Lakers first-round pick this year or next year. Since this is a small year for the draft, there are reports that the Pelicans are more inclined to get the Lakers' first-round pick next year. If the Lakers keep this year's first-round pick No. 17 for their own selection, who should they choose? The U.S. media suggested that the Lakers consider Canadian-Chinese center Zhou Zhihao (Zach Eddie).

Some American media believe that the Lakers are unlikely to move the thick eyebrows back to the No. 4 position, because the data on the court proves that he is more dangerous to play center, and the management needs to find him a more qualified substitute, a better center than Hayes. Zhou Zhihao is undoubtedly a good choice, and he can strengthen the Lakers' frontcourt.

The 22-year-old center, who is 2.24m tall and weighs 129kg, played in 39 NCAA games last season, averaging 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game while shooting 62.3% from the field. As the biggest player in the league, he can dominate the paint and contribute on both ends of the floor.

The current NBA is no longer popular with traditional centers, but Zhou Zhihao can still meet the needs of the Lakers, scoring under the basket and grabbing frontcourt rebounds. While his mobility and stamina are concerning, he simply doesn't need to play more than 30 minutes per game with the Lakers. Sharing some of the offensive and defensive pressure for the thick eyebrows and becoming a reliable backup for the All-Star center would be considered a successful mission.

Last season, Thick Eyebrow played the healthiest season of his career, playing in 76 regular season games, but considering Thick Eyebrow's past injury history and increasing age, the Lakers really need to find him a reliable replacement, and Zhou Zhihao is considered to have this potential. According to the latest report, teams with top 10 picks are also considering Zhou Zhihao, and everyone thinks that if Zhou Zhihao falls to the middle of the first round, the Lakers should use the No. 17 pick to select him?
