UCLA’s Skyy Clark Works Out for Western Conference Squad

A familiar Los Angeles face recently worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this week ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft.

UCLA guard Skyy Clark was among several draft hopefuls to work out for the Lakers last week, joining Purdue’s Trey Kaufman-Renn, Iowa State’s Tamin Lipsey, and Miami (OH)’s Peter Suder. Clark suited up for UCLA for the last two seasons from 2024-2026.

Clark With UCLA

Over that span, Clark averaged 9.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, shooting 46 percent from the field and 41 percent from three-point range. This past season, the 6-foot-3 guard had one of his best seasons as a college player, averaging 11.5 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, shooting 47 percent from the floor, and 43 percent from three-point range in 26 appearances (23 starts).

Clark did miss roughly a month at the start of Big Ten play with an injury, but was able to return before the season’s end.

Clark brings a versatile game to the table at the guard position. He was always an extremely efficient player in college at all levels scoring the ball, and brings top-notch effort on the defensive side of the floor. So far, he hasn’t appeared on many mock draft boards and isn’t widely considered to be a top 100 player in this year’s draft class.

However, even if he isn’t drafted, Clark can still work his way into the league as an undrafted free agent following the draft, and could get an opportunity to prove himself on a summer league team, or in the G-League on a two-way deal….
