Just because the Los Angeles Lakers do not have a pick in the upcoming NBA draft doesn’t mean they’re not doing their due diligence on draft prospects.
The team is reportedly interested in acquiring a second-round pick, and they are also looking to sign at least one undrafted player as a free agent.

This season, he averaged 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. In the 2020-21 campaign, he put up 17.6 points and 7.3 boards a game as a member of Yale University.
Here is a look at Atkinson.
