I know we have a 2022 draft thread in the draft lounge, but I believe we've been allowed to have a draft thread in the Lakers Lounge since it gets more eyes. Mods, if this is not OK, please let me know and remove.
The Lakers do not have a 1st or 2nd round pick.... yet.
They will run some workouts tomorrow Tuesday May 10, 2022:

| Did the Lakers convince Austin to not take a late 2nd round contract in order to be an Undrafted Free Agent? |

Yes. Kid had crazy confidence to accept it. |

Way to go scouts/FO! We'll need something like this next year. |

| Just think of it as the Lakers have a pick in the low 60s and then following the draft becomes easier. |

| Mike's mock draft https://fanspo.com/u/mikeg7195/draft-big-boards/8D-AIKcYuEmCem/may-1-mock-draft Safe to say the juniors and seniors could fall to the second round and/or undrafted. The top junior is 6'6" SG Jalen Williams at No. 19 The top senior is 6'10" PF Pete Nance at No. 27 Perhaps the Lakers work out a deal if they fall out of the first round, offer a more desirable undrafted free agent contract. |

Thank you. I'm still continuing work, but of course changes will happen while more information about draft candidates and workouts come out. https://lakersdraft.substack.com/p/my-watch-has-begun?s=w I wasn't even thinking about "top junior or top senior," really, just guys who I think can play. It cuts out the idea of having ageism skewing my perception. |

What's the rationale for leaving Shaedon Sharpe out of the top 10? He could easily go #1 IMO. |

That's not quite right. The Lakers told Austin's agent that they would offer him a two-way contract if no one drafted him. On draft night, the Pistons told Reeves agent they were going to take Reeves with the 41st pick and offer him a two-way contract. It was a courtesy call since they weren't going to offer him a second-round contract. Reeves preferred the Lakers and asked them not to draft him. But it's not like Reeves turned down guaranteed money -- the Pistons offer was identical to our offer. And all he could do is request the Pistons not draft him -- he couldn't stop a team from drafting him. |
