NBA Draft Rumors: Lakers to work out Dennis Smith, Jr. Saturday

The Los Angeles Lakers will reportedly ‘workout and meet’ with N.C. State guard Dennis Smith, Jr. Saturday, according to Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.

Zagoria adds that Smith, the seventh-rated prospect on Draft Express’ top-100 prospects list, has also met with the New York Knicks and Orlando Magic this week.

Smith was a pick-and-roll maestro in his one season at N.C. State, averaging 18.1 points and 6.2 assists as a freshman.

The Lakers are reportedly trying really hard to keep who they want to select under wraps so teams might try to trade up, so this meeting could just be an effort to keep their intentions nebulous.
