At their second public workout prior to the 2021 NBA Draft, the Lakers brought in a player they conceivably could be drafting with the No. 22 pick on July 29: Virginia guard Trey Murphy III, who is projected by several mock drafts as in Los Angeles’ range in the first round and is a prospect the team already interviewed at the predraft combine last month.
Murphy, a 6’8 wing who hit 43.3% of his threes during his final college season, is projected as exactly the type of three-and-D player every team could use at the next level.
