The Lakers try out former NBA star cousin, who may also be a potential contender for a two-way contract?

According to statistics from Hoopshype reporter Alberto De Roa, senior backcourt player RJ Felton, who previously played for East Carolina University, has held a trial training for the Los Angeles Lakers. It is worth noting that Felton also has a special identity, and his cousin is NBA player Raymond Felton.

Felton was born in May 2002 and is 23 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is a backcourt player with good scoring skills. In the NCAA field this season, Felton made a total of 33 appearances for East Carolina University, where he is located, with averaging 34.5 minutes per game, averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 41.4%, three-point shooting percentage 37.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 74.3%. Felton's performance this season was fully recognized, and he was shortlisted for the AAC League All-Squad Team this season. Considering that Felton was only shortlisted for the AAC League's All-A-Team Third Team last season, this also shows that his performance this season has also improved further compared to last season.

From the perspective of characteristics, Felton is a player with excellent scoring ability. He can score in various ways. His stability in outside shooting is also worthy of recognition. He has also improved further in this regard compared to last season. However, Felton's performance in other aspects is actually relatively average, his figure is relatively limited, his height is similar to a No. 1 player, but his passing ability and organizational ability are completely unable to meet the level of a No. 1 player. His defensive ability is also relatively limited, and his physical talent is also relatively limited. On the other hand, Felton is already a senior player and is relatively old. His future development is also worrying. What's more, he has been playing in teams and leagues with mediocre strength, and he has not been practicing at higher-level games for a long time.

Felton's current draft market is not ideal, and he should be a high probability of becoming a loser. However, considering that Felton has a very good scoring ability and he also has a very good ball-holding offensive ability, his maturity is also relatively high. Such players may have a good chance to defeat all sides in the summer league and play their own characteristics and attract more attention from the team. Although Felton is unlikely to be shortlisted in the next NBA draft, he may become a potential contender for some teams' two-way contracts. I just don't know how Felton performed in the Lakers' trial.
