Lakers Add Undrafted “Sleeper” Prospect to Boost Backcourt Depth highlights the Los Angeles Lakers’ quiet addition of Peter Suder to strengthen their guard depth. The team officially confirmed Suder’s signing to a two-way contract on Saturday, after earlier reports following the NBA Draft that he had agreed to the deal as an undrafted player.
