2023 Lakers draft prospect profile: Nathan Mensah

A look at Nathan Mensah, a big man from San Diego State University.

One area the Los Angeles Lakers could use an upgrade or two in this summer is the frontcourt, particularly at the center position.

When Anthony Davis was on the bench, head coach Darvin Ham almost always went small with LeBron James or Rui Hachimura at the 5. That just will not be sustainable, not with Nikola Jokic and the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets in the way.

While the Lakers have the No. 17 and No. 47 picks in the upcoming draft, there is always the chance they find a gem among the undrafted free agents. One interesting potential undrafted free agent they recently worked out is Nathan Mensah.
