Kristaps Porzingis worked out privately for the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night at the franchise’s El Segundo, Calif., practice facility. He had an impressive open workout on Friday in Las Vegas.
Porzingis is 7-foot-1 with Dirk Nowitzki’s shooting touch and Pau Gasol’s athleticism, a European prodigy blessed with fluent English and the threat of transcendent talent.
Porzingis is pursuing the Lakers’ pick at No. 2, along with Ohio State guard D’Angelo Russell and Duke’s Jahlil Okafor.
