Former NBA player Mychal Thompson said his son Klay, a high scoring guard at Washington State, will likely enter the draft.

“That’s the way he’s leaning,” Mychal said Wednesday. “He’s probably going to put his name in and use my contacts and my inside information that I have to make up his mind by May 8th.

 “Yeah, that’s the route we’re taking,” said Mychal, a former No. 1 draft pick, long-time NBA player and current Los Angeles Lakers radio color commentator, the team he finished his career with. “Because I have the advantage most parents don’t have, I’m in the league and I can find out firsthand what the scouts and GMs think of him.

“It’s like insider trading. I guess that’s legal in this business.”
