My current dream scenario would be to package (Beasley + 17) for (Hield + 26 or 29) from Indiana.
With pick 26/29, would then love to draft Andre Jackson. Might be a tad high for him but I just love what he brings to the table.
My question is: is there any reason for hope (given the iffy mechanics; So-so free throw shooting;,Etc) that his outside shooting could improve?
Feels like the last decade is filled with “great wing prospect (if he could shoot)” guys. But, with all the other things he brings to the table, seems like he still can create value on the Lakers with his passing/defensive IQ...
One thing I’ve been wondering as a general draft question:
Do you know how to teams pick who they want to interview at the combine vs workout?
Are combine interviews only considered to be reserved for players a team is highest on going into the draft? And the workouts are players they just need to see more from?
In recent years, the Lakers have signed workout players (Reaves/Swider/Pippen), but they drafted Max who they only interviewed at the combine. With THT, I don’t even know if they interviewed or worked him out at all.
Just always curious if you knew if there is a differentiation between combine interview prospects and workout prospects, esp. for the Lakers.
