Working with Tatum, Kobe wonder why the Lakers didn't draft him

It's a legitimate question, and one I'm thankful the Boston Celtics are in a position to ask.

The question I'm referring to was reportedly posed by Kobe Bryant after working with Jayson Tatum this summer, who is widely known for idolizing the former Los Angeles Laker despite being a budding star himself for the Celtics, one Boston had to be on the right side of a crazy amount of luck to ask:

"Why didn't the Lakers draft [Jayson Tatum]?"

This comes to us from the mouth of renowned trainer Drew Hanlen, who has also been putting in a lot of work with Tatum this summer, along with Jaylen Brown, Semi Ojeleye, and others, as he was being interviewed by Evan Daniels on his popular podcast, The Sidelines.
