The final drill the Lakers instructed their six NBA draft prospects to do on Saturday was the most challenging, a drill Trey Murphy III called a “mentality drill.”
Murphy, a 6-foot-9 forward from Virginia whom most draft experts believe will be selected in the lower third the first round, described that last drill as “a really tough one.”
“Basically, you’re just by yourself going full court, end line to end line, just trying to get buckets and score threes,” Murphy, who averaged 11.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and shot 50.3% from the field last season, said on Zoom.
