It's Draft Day! The Lakers have been rumored to be using their 22nd pick as everything from a sweetener in a larger trade package, a mechanism to move higher in the first round, a mechanism to trade into the second round... and... well... a means of selecting a player 22nd overall. Whatever decision ultimately made will be dictated in part by whoever's most likely available for them at that spot. To break down the field of candidates, the Kamenetzkys welcomed NBA draft expert Mike Garcia (@canyondriver). He offered scouting reports on several rookies linked to the Lakers, including Jared Butler, Chris Duarte, Jared Springer, and Trey Murphy III. Additionally, he offered perspective on potentially underrated gems for the second round, a couple of high upside candidates worth rolling the dice on late in the first, and the strength of the class as a whole. Plus, learn which incoming rookie reminds Garcia of Talen Horton-Tucker, along with the animal you'll now be comparing THT to from this day forward! Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: More than any player, Baylor point guard and national championship Jared Butler has been the consensus pick for the Lakers at 22. Would he make sense? SEGMENT 2: The rumor mill has the Lakers trying to move up to ensure a chance at Oregon sharpshooter Chris Duarte. Would he be worth the effort? Plus, scouting reports on other players. SEGMENT 3: Who are sleepers worth keeping an eye on, and how good is the 2021 class to begin with?
