2023 Lakers draft prospect profile: Kihei Clark

A look at Kihei Clark, a guard from the University of Virginia Cavaliers.

With the 2023 NBA draft less than a month away, LeBron Wire is taking a look at a number of draft prospects the Los Angeles Lakers bring in for a workout.

Unlike last year, the team will have a first-round draft pick (No. 17) by virtue of finishing with a better record than the New Orleans Pelicans. Per the terms of 2019’s Anthony Davis trade, the Pelicans had the right to swap first-round picks with the Lakers this year. Since L.A.’s pick was lower, it will remain put at No. 17, while New Orleans will select at No. 14.

In addition, the Lakers will have a second-round choice at No. 47.

They have started to bring in prospects for workouts, and one of them is University of Virginia guard Kihei Clark.
