Scouting Report for Lakers Draft Picks Jalen Hood-Schifinom, Maxwell Lewis... Guest: Mike Garcia!

The Lakers added four players in last week's NBA Draft: First round pick Jalen Hood-Schifino (G, Indiana), Maxwell Lewis (F, Pepperdine) in the second round, and two undrafted players signed to two-way contracts (D'Moi Hodge, G, Missouri and Colin Castleton, C, Florida). They also signed Florida F Alex Fudge to an Exhibit 10 deal. Generally speaking, the the Lakers' draft was well-received by those who grade this sort of thing, but who exactly did they get? What are the strengths and weaknesses? We bring back Lakers draft expert Mike Garcia (@canyondriver) to take a deep dive into the newest members of the purple and gold. It starts with Hood-Schifino. What are his most translatable NBA skills? Who are his comps? (Is it weird to watch his film and think of a right-handed D'Angelo Russell?) Can he defend at a high enough level to earn minutes as a rookie? What about concerns around his 3-point shooting and finishing ability? Mike breaks down all of Hood-Schifino's strengths and weaknesses. Meanwhile, Maxwell Lewis comes from Pepperdine with a lot of potential as a shooter, scorer and defender, but plenty of rough edges to iron out. What are the chances he can get that done? How long of a learning curve are the Lakers realistically looking at for a guy who has tools but needs some refining? Unlike Hood-Schifino, Lewis won't be expected to contribute next year. And what about the two-way contracts, in Castleton and Hodge? The latter was a very accurate, high-volume shooter for the Tigers - and there's always room for shooters in the NBA - but the former might have an easier path to some floor time should he pan out, given the current makeup of the roster. And then there's Fudge, a player Garcia hoped the Lakers might find a way to get. High energy, great athlete, real potential as a defender.
