Lakers draft prospect profile: Paul Atkinson Jr.

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.

One player they have recently brought in for a workout is Paul Atkinson Jr., a 6-foot-10, 220-pound senior from the University of Notre Dame.

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.
