 Here's Dan Beyer. NBA draft is coming gone, but not without Ronnie James being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, taken in the second round at pick number 55. Here's Lakers GM Rob Belenco. In terms of his work ethic, I think we've all seen that lived out too. He's not a person that has ever taken shortcuts or expected or been entitled about basketball opportunities. He's worked for everything that he's gotten, including being selected today at 55.
