The Los Angeles Lakers may have not had a single pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, but that didn’t stop the team from being busy on Thursday night. While they didn’t buy a pick in the second round, the team’s scouts did get a few second-round quality players for their two-way contracts and Las Vegas Summer League roster.
After Devontae Cacok and Kostas Antetokounmpo occupied the team’s pair of two-way slots the last two seasons, the Lakers are going in a new direction, adding Joel Ayayi and Austin Reaves on two-way deals, according to ESPN:
Gonzaga's Joel Ayayi has agreed to a two-way contract with the Lakers, source tells ESPN.
