11 days separate us from the 2021 NBA Draft. While it is unlikely we hear a former Badger’s name called early on, a few of last year’s seniors are out trying to make a name for themselves in the pre-draft process.
One of those Wisconsin products is D’Mitrik Trice, an NBA hopeful who attended a workout on Friday for one of the Western Conference’s perennial contenders—the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers’ July 16 draft workout participants, per the team:
D'Mitrik Trice – Wisconsin
Jordan Schakel – San Diego State
Isaiah Todd – G League Ignite
Javonte Smart – LSU
JaQuori McLaughlin – UCSB
Matthew Hurt – Duke— Jovan Buha (@jovanbuha) July 16, 2021
Trice averaged 10 points, 3 assists and 2.9 rebounds during his five-year Wisconsin career. Those numbers came on the back of 39 percent shooting from the floor and 38 percent from three.
Frank Kaminsky is currently the only former Badger in the NBA. We’ll see in just under two weeks whether Trice, Micah Potter or Nate Reuvers is able to join him.
