2018 NBA Draft Rumors: St. John’s Shamorie Ponds To Work Out With Lakers

In a break from recent years, pre-draft workouts the Los Angeles Lakers are holding lack some of the big buzz found with other teams. That of course is explained by L.A. holding the 25th and 47th overall selections in the 2018 NBA Draft instead of lottery selections.

As a result of the ill-fated Steve Nash trade, that went to Philadelphia 76ers at No. 10 overall. Although they lost a valuable asset, the Lakers have fared well with their late-draft selections.

One area the team may look to address this year is the backup point guard position.
