The Lakers are set to audition several new players via Exhibit 10 training-camp deals.
After agreeing to an E10 contract with former five-year North Carolina guard RJ Davis, Los Angeles is also bringing in two additional undrafted free agents on similar agreements.
Los Angeles is signing former Texas forward Arthur Kaluma and ex-Saint Mary’s guard Augustas Marciulionis, sources tell Dan Woike of The Athletic and Jonathan Givony of ESPN (Twitter links).
Kaluma notched averages of 12.3 PPG, 7.5 RPG, and 1.8 APG during his final NCAA season. The 6’7″ wing logged a .462/.359/.784 slash line. Prior to his Longhorns stint, Kaluma also suited up for Creighton and Texas State.
A two-time WCC Player of the Year, the 6’4″ Marciulionis averaged 14.2 PPG, 5.9 APG, and 4.1 APG in 35 bouts last season. He posted shooting splits of .446/.347/.793. Marciulionis missed pre-draft workouts while recuperating from an injury, but is expected to be healthy next month.
Exhibit 10 agreements are non-guaranteed, but can be converted into two-way deals if players impress their clubs. Should Kaluma or Marciulionis be waived and spend up to 60 days on the Lakers’ G League affiliate in El Segundo, the South Bay Lakers, they could fetch bonuses worth up to $85K.
