What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers formalized a one-year minimum contract with former lottery pick Ziaire Williams on Sunday. Prior to the agreement, a four-person contingent of Nate McMillan, Greg St. Jean, Rob Pelinka and Kurt Rambis observed Williams in a private Las Vegas workout.

Why it matters: The front office wanted to gauge the state of his game and his recent efforts to refine his perimeter shooting. Los Angeles is using the offseason to evaluate low-risk reclamation projects as they build out the rotation.

What to watch: Williams must now translate his workout adjustments into training camp as he competes for a rotation role.
