Malik Newman has never had much issue filling the bucket, and now he’s looking to bring that scoring punch to the Lakers organization.
The combo guard was one of this year’s most sought-after undrafted free agents until he agreed to a two-way contract with the Los Angeles and South Bay Lakers.
Newman was a flamethrower in his lone year at Kansas, receiving distinctions including Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, Big 12 Tournament MVP and NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player.
The 21-year-old earned those honors with the same skill that makes him an interesting prospect for the Lakers: his ability to fill the bucket.
