The Los Angeles Lakers announced workouts for five more players ahead of the NBA draft.
The new group consists of Brandon Boston Jr. of Kentucky, Moses Wright of Georgia Tech, Jose Alvarado of Georgia Tech, Spencer Littleton of Toledo and MaCio Teague of Baylor.
Boston, a 6-foot-7 forward, played one season at Kentucky and averaged 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 30.3 minutes. He shot 35.5% overall on 11.6 attempts and 30% from deep on 4.0 attempts.
Boston is projected to be an early to mid second-round pick, so he could be a possibility if the Lakers move down to acquire more second-round selections.
Wright, 6 feet, 9 inches, is more of a small-ball big man with the potential to be a floor-spacing big. He played four seasons at Georgia Tech and as a senior, he averaged 17.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.5 steals.
Wright shot 41.4 percent from deep on 1.2 attempts, which could be something to tap into for development staff members. Wright is projected to be a late second-round pick to undrafted.
Alvarado, a 6-foot-0 guard, also played four seasons at Georgia Tech. As a senior, he averaged 15.2 points, 4.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 steals. He converted on 39% of his 3s on 4.5 attempts. Alvarado is projected to go undrafted or sneak into the end of the second round.
Littleson is a 6-foot-4 guard who played four seasons of college ball; he played his last three seasons at Toledo. As a senior, Littleson shot 47.2% from deep on 7.3 attempts, one of the best combinations of percentage and volume in college. But he’ll likely go undrafted as there’s not much else to his skill set besides the 3-point shooting, which, nonetheless, is a valuable trait to have.
Teague, a 6-foot-4 guard, also played four seasons — the last two with the Baylor Bears. As a senior, he averaged 15.9 points and shot 39.5% from deep on 5.1 attempts. He’s projected to go undrafted.
