One of the latest potential finds for the Lakers scouting department, Mac McClung has long been a known name around the basketball world. However, he’s gone from a simple viral high school sensation to legitimate NBA prospect, as the Lakers have found out by watching him all year in the G League.
McClung signed with the Lakers as an undrafted free agent, earned a two-way contract late in the year and eventually was named the G League Rookie of the Year. At season’s end, McClung appeared in the Lakers’ win over the Nuggets to wrap up the year and capped off his impressive run and a Lakers with a highlight-reel reverse dunk.
