The Los Angeles Lakers have been good at identifying diamonds in the rough over the last few years, turning second-round picks or undrafted players like Talen Horton-Tucker and Alex Caruso into quality role players.
Even though the Lakers didn’t wind up picking anyone in the 2021 NBA Draft, they are hoping to find some more under-the-radar players this season.
They have already signed both Austin Reaves and Joel Ayayi to two-way contracts, so they will be going back and forth between the parent team and G League a lot this season.
The Lakers are signed a pair of their Summer League players in Mac McClung and Chaundee Brown to Exhibit 10 contracts, giving them a chance to come in and compete for a roster spot during training camp before ultimately likely joining the G League South Bay Lakers as well.
