The Los Angeles Lakers continued their evaluations for the 2018 NBA Draft on Wednesday with six new players, including All-Pac 12 center Chimezie Metu.
A native of Los Angeles, Metu grew up a Lakers fan and following his workout, he talked about the significance of fulfilling his lifelong dream of wearing the purple and gold, even if only just for a day.
“I’ve been a Laker fan my whole life,” Metu said. “Just being in here is crazy to me. I’m probably going to have a lot more workouts, but this is probably going to be my favorite one, or just one that I’m going to cherish a lot more because of the history.
