The Lakers were the first on the clock, taking Indiana guard Jalen Hood-Schifino with the No. 17 selection.Golden State was active Thursday even before taking Santa Clara guard Brandin Podziemski with the No. 19 selection, agreeing to add 12-time All-Star Chris Paul in a trade that sends Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards. Podziemski’s arrival should give the Warriors another 3-point threat alongside All-Stars like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The Clippers had the No. 30 overall selection, which was the fin...
