Los Angeles Lakers hosting fourth six-prospect pre-draft workout

Arkansas G, Daryl Macon

Daryl Macon played his final two collegiate seasons with the Arkansas Razorbacks. In his two seasons at Arkansas, he showed his ability to score the ball and do it consistently.

Macon is a good shooter, knocking down 40.5 percent of his 3-point attempts and 87.1 percent from the foul line. Overall, he made 45 percent from the field, a strong number for a combo guard who attempted more than half his shots from beyond the arc.

Macon averaged 15.1 points per game at Arkansas, including 16.8 in his senior season. That mark was fifth best in the SEC. His 3.9 assists per game also ranked sixth in the conference.

Standing 6’3”, Macon has good size for a point guard. Given his scoring prowess, he could play off the ball as well given the diversity in his offensive game. For a player who had the ball in his hands as much as Macon did, averaging only 1.8 turnovers per game is pretty impressive.

His offensive ability is what will get him on a team. He isn’t a great defender or athlete, so he will have to fill it up to get noticed. If he improves defensively and as a playmaker offensively to supplement his ability to score, Macon could develop into a solid rotation player.
