The last few days we’ve been highlighting Haitian basketball players drafted to the NBA. We posted Zach Auguste response to not being drafted a couple of days ago but we are happy to announce Zach Auguste will play for the Los Angeles Lakers’ summer league team, per sources. Depending on his performance in the summer, Auguste could make the Lakers roster and would most likely be the backup center or forward, as he can play both positions.

According to SBNations,

Auguste is a four-year player at Notre Dame who caught the eye of NBA decision-makers his junior season when he broke out with a 12.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game campaign.
