Former Lakers “Sleeper” Prospect Makes Immediate Impact With New Team

Former Los Angeles Lakers two-way guard Peter Suder impressed in his professional debut with the Windy City Bulls on Saturday. Suder scored 15 points in 33 minutes while shooting 6-of-12 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range, helping the Chicago Bulls' G League affiliate defeat the Noblesville Boom 135-128 to open the 2026-27 season.

Suder joined Chicago after being waived by the Lakers following Summer League struggles, which opened a two-way spot for Arthur Kaluma. Although offered a spot with the Lakers' affiliate in Coachella Valley, Suder signed an Exhibit 10 deal with Chicago, which includes a bonus of up to $91,000 if he stays with Windy City for 60 days.
