JULY 20: One month later, the Lakers and Caroline have made it official, per a release from the club.
JUNE 20: The Lakers have reached a deal with undrafted Nevada wing Jordan Caroline, according to Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll, who reports that Caroline will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the club.
Caroline, who began his college career at Southern Illinois before transferring to Nevada, averaged 17.0 PPG, 9.6 RPG, and 1.9 APG in his senior year. He also showed off an improved three-point shot, converting 1.4 per game at a rate of 36.8%.
Caroline is the third undrafted free agent to have reached a deal with the Lakers since the draft, joining Zach Norvell Jr. (two-way) and Devontae Cacok (Exhibit 10), as we detailed earlier today.
Mississippi State forward Aric Holman may be joining that group, as Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports (via Twitter) that Holman has also agreed to join the Lakers. However, it’s not yet clear whether that deal will just cover the Summer League or whether Holman will get a spot on the team’s 20-man offseason roster.
Holman averaged 9.5 PPG, 6.2 RPG, and 1.6 BPG with a .473/.429/.701 shooting line in his senior year at Mississippi State.
I’m starting to get a little annoyed by the every 15 minute alert that the Orlando Magic signed a guy who isn’t going to make the team to a two-way contract. Would recommend just one big post at the end of the day of all the signings such as the MLB minor transactions.
No.
I for one like the updates as they happen.
If I want to read an overall update I’ll read tomorrow’s newspaper.
If I want things as they happen, I’ll come to this site, the best !!
The suggested page could be started with the first one then updated as more occur. The breaking news page, with links. That would bring new people.
Norvell might be the Laker’s best 2G this year, avg 15 ppg. Great fit with James.
I’m sure Danny green would have something to stay about that
Yes, now. A month ago the Lakers were supposedly going to get a max player and just have room for min.wagers.
