Lakers NBA Draft Prospects 2021 | Lakers Workout Trey Murphy III | Chris Duarte Lakers 2021

Lakers NBA Draft Prospects 2021 | Lakers Workout Trey Murphy III | Chris Duarte Lakers 2021 At their second public workout prior to the 2021 NBA Draft, the Lakers brought in a player they conceivably could be drafting with the No. 22 pick on July 29: Virginia guard Trey Murphy III, who is projected by several mock drafts as in Los Angeles’ range in the first round and is a prospect the team already interviewed at the predraft combine last month. Murphy, a 6’8 wing who hit 43.3% of his threes during his final college season, is projected as exactly the type of three-and-D player every team could use at the next level. Sam Vecenie of The Athletic projected him to go 23rd overall in his latest mock draft, and Jonathan Givony of ESPN projects him as the 18th-best prospect in the 2021 class. The Lakers will be on the lookout for ready-made contributors … if they decide to keep this pick, with much of their backcourt group about to enter free agency. With that in mind, an experienced player such as Duarte could make a lot of sense. He is one of the oldest players projected to be drafted and looks like a plug-and-play fit thanks to his strong perimeter shooting, passing and defensive playmaking instincts. Duarte is a proficient outside shooter as he attempted 5.5 threes per game on 42.4 percent shooting. In his final season with Oregon, Duarte averaged 17.1 points per game and showed a knack for the defensive end as evidenced by his 1.9 steals. According to The Ringer’s latest mock draft by Kevin O’Conner, the Lakers will select Louisiana State University guard Cameron Thomas: “Too often last season, the Lakers watched their offense stall out. Thomas is the type of scorer who can jump-start a team. He’s a throwback who can thrive from midrange. Coming off the Lakers bench could provide him with a surplus of easy scoring opportunities as he develops to take on a bigger role in the future.” Thomas, 19, is entering the NBA draft after playing at LSU for one season. He made the SEC All-Freshman Team and first-team All-SEC after averaging 23.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 40.6 percent from the field on 17.2 attempts and 32.5 percent from 3-point range on 7.2 attempts. He also converted 88.2 percent of his free throws on 7.6 attempts. So Z Nation, who do you think the Lakers should select with the 22nd overall pick in this years draft if they keep the pick???
