UCONN center Samson Johnson recently participated in a pre-draft workout with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 6’10” big man, known for his defensive prowess, showcased his skills to the Lakers’ coaching staff and front office.
As a senior, Johnson averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game in 19.3 minutes per contest. His defensive abilities and potential for growth make him an intriguing prospect for NBA teams.
The Lakers’ interest in Johnson suggests they may be looking to bolster their frontcourt depth and defense. With a strong workout, Johnson could position himself as a potential late-round draft pick or free agent signing.
