UCLA guard Johnny Juzang among prospects to work out for Lakers

UCLA junior Johnny Juzang was among the prospects that worked out with the Lakers on Monday.

UCLA junior Johnny Juzang was among the prospects to participate in a pre-draft workout with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, the team announced.

Juzang, who was named to the first-team All-Pac 12, averaged 15.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 36% shooting from 3-point range in 30 games. He led the Bruins in scoring and finished in double figures in all but five games; he had eight 20-point performances.

The 6-foot-7 guard was among the prospects that competed in the draft combine last month in Chicago, Illinois. He is considered to be a potential second-round pick this year and has also worked out with the Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz among other teams.

In addition to Juzang, the Lakers also hosted Georgia Tech guard Michael Devoe, Louisiana Tech forward Kenneth Lofton Jr., Kansas guard Remy Martin, Villanova forward Jermaine Samuels and Haowen Guo of the Shanghai Sharks on Monday.

The Lakers enter the pre-draft process with no picks in either round. The team dealt its first-round pick to the New Orleans Pelicans in the trade involving Anthony Davis. Its second-round selection was sent to the Washington Wizards in a cap-clearing move.

Despite having no draft picks, the Lakers will still do their due diligence on those fringe prospects that could go undrafted. The team could acquire picks to take a prospect or sign him outright in free agency after the draft.

The NBA draft will take place on June 23.

CBS showed a graphic of someone who is definitely not Remy Martin during the Kansas-Creighton game and we’re all confused

Graphic design is my passion.

Kansas (-12) is a popular pick to go all the way in the Men’s NCAA tournament. They might not be the best squad on paper Bill Self has ever coached, but they could cut down the nets.

And even if Kansas weren’t a No. 1 seed, you would think that a television network would do its due diligence and put the bare minimum effort into presentation. You know, like when it’s time to highlight some of the top players on one of the top teams in the country.

There are two general rules to follow:

  • First, if you’re going to call people out by name, you pronounce their names correctly. Done. Easy.
  • Second, in what is undeniably just as important, if you’re going to display graphics of said players, you make sure your photos (or Photoshops) resemble the people they’re supposed to represent.

Someone did not pass along the second memo to CBS during Kansas’s game with Creighton. During one of the first commercial breaks, the network showed a graphic with Ochai Agbaji on the left, Christian Braun on the right, and someone who definitely isn’t Remy Martin in the middle.

Former Jayhawk Landen Lucas took issue with the Photoshop fumble on Twitter.

In fairness: I’m sure whoever this young man that isn’t Martin is still nice and kind. But, anyway, graphic design is my passion, too.

The official Kansas Men’s Basketball account then weighed in on the snafu once Lucas blew the graphic up.

At this time, there is no word on whether CBS is aware of who Remy Martin is. But relevant authorities assure us: They will provide updates accordingly as they come. My advice for next time would be to do a more extensive Google search when typing in “Remy Martin.” I’m still confused, but I won’t pry any further.

Did he stay or did he go? Tracking the biggest NBA draft decisions

All prospects who declared early entry for the 2021 NBA draft without foregoing their collegiate eligibility had until July 7 to withdraw.

All prospects who declared early entry for the 2021 NBA draft without foregoing their collegiate eligibility had until July 7 to withdraw.

While the official date from the league is not actually until July 19, the NCAA has mandated the deadline of July 7 for players who wish to play college basketball next season.

Prospects who declared as early entry candidates but were just “testing the waters” often opt to return to the collegiate ranks so as to improve their draft stock for the subsequent year instead. But there are several reasons why a player might be even more willing to return to college for another campaign than usual.

For example, seniors have the option to use another year of eligibility because of the massive impact of COVID-19. Others may be interested in playing another year of college in front of fans after last season was met with many restrictions.

Meanwhile, all NCAA athletes also now have the ability to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL) for the first time. This offers an avenue to collect some money while still in college without needing to fully commit to turning pro.

Here are the latest updates about who is still testing the waters, who will be turning pro and who will be returning to the NCAA.

2021 aggregate NBA mock draft 2.0: How has the NCAA season changed rankings?

Now that the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball season is underway, we are getting a more clear picture of the top prospects in the upcoming class.

Now that the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball season is underway, we are getting a more clear picture of the top prospects in the upcoming class.

Former top recruits like Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley and Jalen Suggs have made a great first impression and have confirmed why many already feel they are going to be solid future professionals in the NBA.

Of course, considering the unusual nature of the college basketball season, some players are struggling a bit more than others. The performance on the court will likely stray closer to the mean with a larger sample size as the year continues.

But to get a better sense of where everyone stands right now, we compiled mock drafts from ESPN, NBADraft.net, CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo, The Athletic and USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s For The Win to see where the prospects rank at the moment.

We highlighted the prospects who have been the biggest risers since we published our last edition of this exercise.

College basketball standouts who have most drastically improved their draft stock through the early parts of the season include Keon Johnson (Tennessee), James Bouknight (UCONN), Jared Butler (Baylor), Corey Kispert (Gonzaga), Day’Ron Sharpe (UNC), Aaron Henry (Michigan State), Ayo Dosunmu (Illinois), Marcus Bagley (Arizona State), Moussa Cisse (Memphis), Charles Bassey (Western Kentucky), Jason Preston (Ohio) and Luka Garza (Iowa).

Below are the rankings based on the latest mock drafts from top analysts and experts:
