2023 Lakers draft prospect profile: Kevin Obanor

A look at Kevin Obanor, a forward from Texas Tech University.

After a disastrous 2021-22 season and a dismal start to this season, the Los Angeles Lakers turned things around drastically in February and became a very good team thanks to several trades.

They had the second-best regular-season record in the NBA after the All-Star break, and they reached the Western Conference finals, where they were swept by the Denver Nuggets.

While Los Angeles appears close to being a championship-caliber team, it has a few needs, including improved frontcourt depth.

On Tuesday, it worked out a forward named Kevin Obanor from Texas Tech University who could have some potential.
