The Los Angeles Lakers have begun their pre-draft workouts for the 2018 NBA Draft. They have already hosted three six-player groups including some individual workouts as well.
The first workout was headlined by Wisconsin center, Ethan Happ. In the second workout, the Lakers focused on the defensive end of the court. In the third, a local product took part.
In the third six-player workout, Lawndale native and USC forward, Chemezie Metu, headlined the group. Metu grew up only 10 minutes away from the STAPLES Center. With his basketball career entering its next phase, Metu could put on the purple and gold that he grew up rooting for.
