Now, the team best positioned to emulate the approach might be the current Celtics, with their No. 1 overall pick in the June 22 draft, the first-round pick they have coming next year from the Brooklyn Nets and enough mix-and-match pieces to again facilitate trades for a pair of proven veterans. So, it's one workout. While most National Basketball Association mock drafts project Smith Jr.to become a top-10 pick, Lydon marked the only other player to be drafted on June 22.
There are few who can appreciate the math of super teams as much as LeBron James, having been a factor in just about every possible permutation.
The signs keep pointing to the Lakers passing on Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick in the draft. But I'm just being realistic and thinking about it. Here is the latest in our series on draft prospects projected to be picked around where the Wizards will select.
Josh Jackson has been promised - has worked out for Lakers in LA. Ball's loquacious and bombastic father, LaVar, has already made headlines declaring that his son will only play for the Lakers, but we've really only heard one side of the story thus far.

Despite the Ball family's obvious desire to stay in L.A., other reports suggest the Lakers are heavily considering other options at this point. Ball acknowledged that the "drills get you exhausted, so you got to stay focused".
This is certainly good news for the Lakers, as it likely means that Fultz hasn't received any promise from the Celtics that he will be taken first overall.
For better and for worse, the Lakers are mindful of not overreacting to individual workouts considering the various restrictions.
Why is Ball good for the team?
He got to show off his shooting stroke, but the team did not get to see how the point guard operated in pick-and-roll situations, among other things.As ESPN reported on Friday, Markelle Fultz agreed to workout with the Sacramento Kings. "I also feel like I can do more".
