Per usual, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted several prospects for workouts in advance of the 2018 NBA Draft. While most teams cast a wide net when evaluating potential picks, the Lakers were among the few teams who held a pre-draft workout with LiAngelo Ball.
That surprised most and perhaps everyone but LaVar Ball, who predicted even before the Lakers drafted Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 overall pick in 2017 that all three of his sons would eventually wind up with the franchise.
LaVar championed LiAngelo as the best shooter available in the 2018 Draft, and was confident the Lakers would select him with one of their three picks.
