The Los Angeles Lakers will work out Henry Ellenson on Saturday as part of their ongoing predraft preparations, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical. The power forward out of Marquette is a projected lottery pick and the 13th best available prospect in the 2016 NBA Draft, according to Draft Express.
It has been assumed since the Lakers retained the second overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft Lottery that the team would take either LSU's Ben Simmons or Duke's Brandon Ingram, but general manager Mitch Kupchak has said he isn't sure there is as large of a drop-off between the second overall pick and the third one as many suggest.
