Although the Los Angeles Lakers are out of the playoffs, there is still plenty of work to be done as the 2021 NBA Draft is scheduled for July 29.
The Lakers hold the No. 22 overall pick and in a deep draft, the team has an excellent opportunity to either nab a player who can help in the short-term or swing for the fences on someone who has plenty of upside and potential.
So far, Los Angeles has conducted several interviews with players including Gonzaga’s Corey Kispert. Shooting is one of the Lakers’ top priorities in the offseason, so it makes sense as to why they would want to interview arguably the best shooter in the draft in Kispert.
