McClung stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 185 pounds. He went unselected in Thursday’s NBA draft.
He has the potential to be a decent scorer who is adept at drawing fouls and hitting free throws. McClung also has ample athleticism and can defend pretty well.
After trading most of their draft picks away in the last couple of years in order to upgrade their roster, the Lakers are clearly looking for young prospects they can develop.
Also on Thursday, the team acquired Joel Ayayi and Austin Reaves.
