Miles Kelly lands with the L.A. Lakers in ESPN's 2024 NBA Mock Draft

Kelly will be on the NBA's radar heading into this season

Georgia Tech guard Miles Kelly originally declared for the 2023 NBA Draft but opted to come back for another season in Atlanta. Kelly is going to get a chance to play for new head coach Damon Stoudamire and elevate his draft stock ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft. 

With the 2023 draft wrapped up, all eyes are going to be turning to next year's class already. In their first mock draft since the 2023 Draft concluded, ESPN has Kelly being selected in the second round by the Los Angeles Lakers.

While it is way too early to know how the Lakers will look at this time next year, this could be a great situation to be in for Kelly. The Lakers made the Western Conference Finals this past season and are looking to win another championship while LeBron James and Anthony Davis are still in their primes. 

Kelly averaged 14.8 PPG and got in double figures in 25 games during this past season, including setting his career high in a single game with 30 points against Syracuse on February 28th. He also set the program record for free throw shooting percentage (89.83%) in a single season. He averaged 14.6 minutes per game as a freshman during the 2021-2022 season and shot 40.7% from the floor and 34.7% from three-point range. He was the leading scorer for Georgia Tech last season. 

Stoudamire recently talked about how big it was for the team this season that Kelly is coming back: 

"I think that was big. I think he has an NBA jump shot and I think that he is an NBA player and I think that he will have a great junior year for us here at Tech and I think that is something to build on.
