NBA draft prospect Nik Stauskas worked out at Los Angeles Lakers pre-draft workouts with Marcus Smart, Aaron Gordon, Elfrid Payton, P.J. Hairston and Matthew Hezekiah on Friday. Stauskas was actually scheduled to be a part of the Lakers first set of pre-draft workouts two weeks ago but rescheduled due to a minor tweak in his shoulder, which he’s affirmed is all healed now. Most draft analysts have projected Stauskas to get drafted in the 8-12 range, but moving up to the seven slot is a possibility. There’s a reason the Lakers brought Stauskas in to work out with top talent like Aaron Gordon and Marcus Smart.
