The Lakers have 22nd pick in the draft Thursday and are said to like F/C Isaiah Jackson of Kentucky. He'll likely be gone, so they'll select a guard.
For starters, picking at No. 22 in the first round probably means the player the Lakers want will be long gone by the time comes for them to draft.They could use a point guard, but the Lakers also could use a power forward or center.With 21 teams drafting before the Lakers, it’s difficult to project who will be left on the board and who they actually want.
Several NBA scouts said the Lakers really like Isaiah Jackson, a 6-foot-10 forward-center out of Kentucky. But the scouts said Jackson is projected to go before the Lakers pick, perhaps as high as No. 14 to the Golden State Warriors.Players such as Chris Duarte, Jared Butler, Jaden Springer and Nah’Shon Hyland have been associated with the Lakers.
He is considered a two-way player who averaged 17.1 points and shot 42.4% from three-point range last season. He is projected to go as high as 15 on some draft boards.Butler, a 6-3 combo guard from Baylor, won an NCAA championship as a junior. Butler was just cleared by the NBA’s Fitness-to-Play panel after he had dealt with heart issues that prevented him from working out for teams.
Springer, a 6-4 shooting guard from Tennessee, is only 18 but has lots of upside. He averaged 12.5 points last season and made 43.5% of his three-pointers. Springer worked out for the Lakers earlier this month.Hyland, a 6-3 combo guard from Virginia Commonwealth, averaged 19.5 points last season and shot 37.1% from three-point range. He shows a natural ability to score.
