2015 NBA Draft: T.J. McConnell works out for the Lakers

This will be one of many workouts for McConnell

With the NBA Draft just a month away, NBA teams are hosting dozens of players for pre-draft workouts. The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Tuesday that they had T.J. McConnell (among others) in for a workout:

Working out in El Segundo today: T.J. McConnell Bryce Dejean-Jones Kevin Pangos Dez Wells Seth Tuttle Maurice Walker

It appears he'll get to matchup with Kevin Pangos one more time.

The Lakers have picks #2, #27, and #34, but it's extremely unlikely that McConnell will be selected with one of those. Every single mock draft I've seen has T.J. going undrafted.

T.J.'s road to the NBA is to impress during workouts like these, latch onto a Summer League team (likely to happen), and then perform at a high level during Summer League. If he can do that, he'll have a great shot to land a training camp invite and then subsequently he'd have to impress a team once again to make the final roster.

Frankly, I have a hard time seeing T.J. not getting a training camp invite, whether it be from the Lakers or another NBA team. He's a player that coaches love because of his unselfishness and intensity, not to mention he's a pretty skilled player.

Good luck, T.J.!
