Alex Kennedy: Julyan Stone said that the four teams expressing the most interest in him are the Lakers, Heat, Knicks and Wizards. Twitter

Stone is certainly a prospect worthy of the intrigue considering the all-around guard averaged 8.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists as a senior while often deferring to his more aggressive Miner teammates, but his agent told Ridiculous Upside Wednesday evening that there's no promise from the Lakers that they will select his client in the upcoming NBA Draft. "To my recollection there have been no promises made to us," Stone's agent, Giovanni Funicello of GCF Sports Management, wrote in an e-mail to Ridiculous Upside. "There has been however, an enormous amount of interest in Julyan after his performances in his workouts. At this point we will continue to take on all workouts, however, because my philosophy has always been that nothing is done until it's done." Ridiculous Upside

The other rumored promise making the rounds is that the Los Angeles Lakers have committed to drafting Texas-El Paso's Julyan Stone with the 41st overall pick according to Draft Express. If that's true, new head coach Mike Brown won't have a say on it. Ridiculous Upside

Stone, a 6-foot-7 pass-first guard, is Conference USA's all-time assists leader. He passed Tim Hardaway on UTEP's assists chart and is the lone player in school history to compile more than 500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists. He has worked out for New York and New Jersey and has scheduled sessions in Los Angeles, Denver and Sacramento, but he was well aware of his fit alongside the Warriors' undersized guards. "Any team that takes me is going to get a big true point guard who can defend three positions," Stone said. "I can be on the court with a smaller '2' guard, because I can defend the opponent's bigger '2.' "Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry are great players, but they don't have much size. A player like me likes to pass and allow those guys to do what they do on offense. On defense, I can help them avoid mismatches." San Francisco Chronicle

Stone has already been through one workout. He said that one did not go so well, but that it was a learning experience. "I didn't do that well when I worked out for New Jersey," he said. "But I think I'll be a little more comfortable for the rest of them. New Jersey was crazy, but it helped me put things in perspective. I just need to play my game. They all know I'm a point guard. Last year I had to do so much to try and help our team. I had to be a slasher at times, play down in the paint, guard big men ... sometimes I was like a point five. But that was good. Whatever I could do to help our team was fine." El Paso Times

Giovanni Funiciello certainly sees promise in Julyan. The President of GCF Sports Management has been retained by Julyan to be his agent of record for upcoming domestic or foreign opportunities. Funiciello had Julyan train at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida prior to Julyan taking part in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Sports Agent Blog
