Rumors regarding the 2017 NBA Draft are heating up. As the team has recently worked out some of the top prospects, we have heard some different reports about what direction they might go in.
Many qualities have made the Lakers impressed with Ball, including his leadership potential, passing and scoring. While Ball still appears to be the favorite to land in Los Angeles, some of his peers have reportedly performed better at their Lakers workouts. If Ball is the Lakers' top choice at No. 2 overall, they aren't going to pass on him simply because he looked exhausted after running through drills.
This is certainly big news if true, as Jackson did recently work out for the Lakers.

He also appeared in character as House of Cards' Frank Underwood, with his on-screen wife Robin Wright beside him. Unlike past year , when " Hamilton " dominated the show and won 11 Tonys, the wealth was spread out this time .
In addition to Ball, the Lakers are considering De'Aaron Fox and Josh Jackson, and are praying Markelle Fultz somehow falls to them at the second overall pick-which at this point is almost impossible.
Jackson is a defensive-minded prospect making him especially interesting for the Lakers who once again had a bottom-tier defense in the National Basketball Association last season. Last season, the Lakers took Brandon Ingram to fill that role. After his workout, he slighted Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell. And he's certainly going to try. However, it will be interesting to monitor if Gambadoro is right, and the Lakers did indeed promise Jackson that they will take him.
It is worth noting that Gambadoro is from Phoenix, and was also the person that broke the Steve Nash deal. Absolutely not. A lot of this stuff around draft time is theory-based, and it's likely that this information or idea is coming from the Suns or someone around the Suns in this case. "Those things. At the end of the day, I'm trying to come in and play my game".
