EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Neither Jaylen Brown nor Skal Labissiere will likely be selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA draft on June 23.
The Lakers will almost certainly pick whoever the Philadelphia 76ers pass on with the first overall pick between Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram. Meanwhile, Brown and Labissiere are projected lottery picks in the No. 5 to No. 13 range, according to ESPN's Chad Ford.
Even so, Brown and Labissiere each participated in private workouts with the Lakers at the team's training facility Friday morning, and both walked away feeling grateful and in awe of the opportunity to work out for one of the NBA's iconic franchises.
