Utah's Delon Wright of Utah, here participating in the NBA draft basketball combine earlier this month, was one of six players to work out for the Lakers on Thursday.

EL SEGUNDO – Lakers coaches, scouts and executives were finishing putting draft prospects through workouts Thursday when the organization’s most important figure strolled into the practice gym.

Not many failed to notice Kobe Bryant as he made his way down the sideline and took a seat next to Coach Byron Scott.

“I was a Kobe fan growing up,” said Delon Wright, a point guard from the University of Utah.
