The Los Angeles Lakers are still in the process of finding out as much information as possible before making a decision on who to select with the second overall pick in the NBA Draft, and that can be a grueling process for prospective picks. They have to be ready physically for a difficult workout from teams while being prepared for a number of questions that will be asked both by the team and the media.
For players like Lonzo Ball, it’s like a job interview but with the added pressure of a professional-level physical challenge added in.
All that, added to the uncertainty of not knowing what city they will be spending at least the next few years of their lives in, can make the draft a stressful time for a young athlete.
