The difficulty of market transactions is gradually escalating, and the Lakers have won the same number of picks in two years.

Hold the No. 55 sign again! US media: The Lakers try out many rookies, including two centers.

Lakes held the No. 55 draw last season. While preventing other teams from signing Brownie, the management did not hesitate to include him under his command. Although some netizens questioned the purpose of the Lakers' management, the Lakers not only earned all the fees for signing Brownie in the season, but they also made a big profit by selling jerseys and tickets. In the 2025 draft, the Lakers still have a No. 55 pick, and only this pick. During the offseason, they want to use this pick to find an inside player suitable for the Lakers.

According to US media reports, the Lakers have tried out several rookies, including Lamont Butler, Isaac Noggs, CJ Huntley, Izan Almansa, Clifford Omorui, etc.

Just recently, Lakers media and ESPN reporters revealed that the Lakers are looking for inside players in the market. Their targets are Kessler of the Jazz, Clarkston of the Nets, Adams of the Rockets, and Gafford of the Mavericks. As of now, the trading chips of these players are a bit helpless for the Lakers, so the management hopes to get the players they like in the draft.

Among the several rookies in the trial training, Omoruy and Almansa are the most popular.

Omoruy plays as a center forward. He has led the top ten leagues in blocks and averaged 1.7 blocks per game throughout his college career. During his 2023-24 season at Rutgers, he averaged 2.9 blocks per game and completed a total of 93 blocks this season. He is also an excellent frame protector. He averaged 12.2 rebounds per game per 40 minutes during his college years. In his most recent season at the University of Alabama, he averaged 6.5 rebounds per game in just 19.2 minutes.

Izan Almanza, 20 years old, from Spain, plays as power forward/center. He played for the Perth Wildcats in the Australian NBL last season, averaging 6.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
