NBA Draft Rumors: Lakers pushing for Jayson Tatum workout, consider him or De’Aaron Fox trade-back options

The Los Angeles Lakers have now hosted all four of the top prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft, rounding things off by working out Markelle Fultz Thursday. They have a second workout and meeting lined up with Lonzo Ball on Friday, but they aren’t done scouting their options just yet.

The Lakers are pushing to land a workout with Duke lottery prospect Jayson Tatum, according to Chad Ford’s of ESPN’s latest draft update. LA’s front office is reportedly interested in getting a better idea about Tatum, who’s projected to go fourth-overall to the Phoenix Suns in the latest DraftExpress mock draft.
