The 2021 NBA Draft is quickly approaching and the Los Angeles Lakers have been hard at work, bringing in a number of prospects to study closely. Some will obviously be considered for the 22nd overall pick which the team owns, while others are more likely second-rounders or even undrafted guys who the franchise could consider for their summer league roster or training camp invites.
On draft day itself, however, one of the things watched is the prospects themselves, a select number of whom are in the green room waiting to hear their name called. Normally those players invited are limited to expected lottery picks, but this year that number stretches well beyond that.
