The Lakers helped address a need to increase their athleticism at the wing by acquiring Arkansas' Adou Thiero, the No. 36 overall pick of the NBA draft.

Thiero had been projected in most mock drafts as a potential late first-round draft pick but Wednesday came and went without NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called Thiero's name.

After not having a pick in the first round on Wednesday, the Lakers flip from No. 55 to No. 45 on Thursday before trading up once more to land the explosive, 6-foot-6 wing.
