This trade scenario is to trade Knecht and 55th pick to the Magic for the 25th pick. Magic do this trade because they were last in 3 point shooting and Knecht was projected top be a lottery pick last year before falling to the Lakers with the 17th pick. Magic have flexibilty in the upcoming draft as they hold the 16th, 25th, 46th, and 57th picks. Lakers would have to trade for a 1st round pick in the 20's range for a chance to draft some of these players.

Joan Beringer (6'10", 230 lbs) - Projected to be drafted in the early to mid 20s. He is an athletic C that can defend the perimeter, protect the rim, and is a lob threat. Very raw prospect with high developmental upside.

Thomas Sorber (6"10", 263 lbs) - Projected to be drafted in the 20s. Heaviest player at the combine and measured well fore height and wingspan, but did not particapate in the vertical jump. Good offensive post game, strong rim defender and rebounder, and a decent passer, but not much of a lob threat.

Alex Condon (6'11", 230 lbs) [OPTED OUT OF DRAFT] - Projected to be drafted in the late 20s or early 2nd round. High motor player that maximizes his attributes. He is an all around player that can protect the rim, lob threat due to his size with post moves, decent passer, limited 3 point shooting on low volume.

Ryan Kalkbrenner (7'2", 252 lbs) - Projected to be drafted in the late 20s or early 2nd round. He is an older prospect (23 years old), but is an all around player; protect the rim, lob threat due to his size with post moves, can step out and shoot from 3 point range.

Yanic Konan Niederhauser (6'11", 240 lbs) - Projected to be drafted in the early 2nd round. He is an older prospect (22 years old), but he is an athletic C that can defend the perimeter, protect the rim, and is a lob threat.

Johni Broome (6'10", 230 lbs) - Projected to be drafted in the middle 2nd round. He is an older prospect (22 years old), but is a strong rebounder, good post moves, a decent passer, but did not have high wingspan or vertical jump measurements. PF might be a better position for him in the NBA.

Rocco Zikarsky (7'0", 257 lbs) - Projected to be drafted in the middle of 2nd round. He is 18 years and is a big body. Some injury concerns and he is raw offensively, but is a strong defensive presence. NBA comparison Jakob Poeltl.

Amari Williams (6'10", 260 lbs) - Lakers do not make any trade and keep their 55th selection. Amari Williams is expected to be available late in the 2nd round or undrafted. He is on the older side at 23 years old, but he is a rim protector, limited on offense other than being a lob threat, a decent passer. He is a physical presence due to his size.
