Lakers News: Shamorie Ponds Withdraws From 2018 NBA Draft, Returning To St. John’s

The Los Angeles Lakers have scoured the market in recent weeks as preparation for the 2018 NBA Draft hit full swing. After traveling abroad to visit international prospects and making a stop at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, the Lakers have held their own pre-draft workouts.

They’ve brought in prospects that could conceivably be selections at Nos. 25 or 47, as well as those who were more likely to go undrafted and likely wind up being a candidate to play for the Lakers in the Las Vegas Summer League.

In some cases, prospects who went through a workout at UCLA Health Training Center didn’t have an agent and were eligible to return to school.
