Even though the 2021 NBA Draft is on Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers are still doing their due diligence as there could be opportunities for them to take a player later in the draft or sign as an undrafted free agent.
The Lakers currently only hold the No. 22 overall pick, but reports have surfaced they could be looking to move down and acquire extra draft capital. Los Angeles’s scouting department has been excellent at finding gems late in the draft, so it makes sense for them to try and nab an extra prospect in a talented draft class.
