The Lakers have signed point guard Joel Berry, the team officially announced today. Terms of the deal have not yet been released.
Berry, 23, went undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft after spending four seasons at North Carolina. He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2017 NCAA Final Four as a junior after leading North Carolina to a National Championship.
As a senior last season, Berry earned First Team All-ACC honors after averaging 17.1 points in 33.1 minutes per game. He was a member of the Lakers’ 2o18 NBA Summer League squad, but failed to see any game action after suffering an ankle injury.
What kind of a contract? And why another point guard – Rondo, Ball, Caruso, Bryan Ingraham and of course, James when he wants too
It hasn’t been reported. But I would assume a training camp deal.
Who the hell is Bryan Ingraham?
Haha for real
Plus Hart
great pick up! Berry can play good! He lead UNC for 4 years great pick up!
Take that Toronto!
Ok, I see you Lakers! This signing should tip the scales in the West, look out GS!
Is this foresight for Caruso running out of options with us?
Not sure when his 2-way ends.
I doubt he is retained.
Gonna look up some of Berry’s UNC videos.
How’d it go looking up his videos? I’ve been sitting here waiting for another update from you… I mean c’mon you can’t just leave us on a cliff hanger like that. Telling us all you’re going to look up some of his UNC videos and then not even letting us know if you made popcorn or not!?
He’s on YouTube, we all know the direction that always leads us in. By now he’s looking up conspiracy theories on aliens watching funny cat videos
Great signing! He’s tough a leader and a winner!
Seems like a good move for the Lakers for 3rd option PG. If he does well this year could be 2nd behind Ball if Rondo goes.
If Berry can figure out a way to be consistent he could be a weapon. When he was hot he was pretty unstoppable but his shot can get streaky.
Joel Berry will surprise people i believe! He’s the prototype Mike Conley! All these garbage players that have potential or a certain measurable and year after year players like Berry get overlooked undrafted .
