2019 NBA Draft: Lakers’ undrafted free agent and summer league signings tracker

The Los Angeles Lakers entered the 2019 NBA Draft without any draft picks, having sent the number four overall selection to the New Orleans Pelicans in the trade to acquire Anthony Davis.

They ended the night buying the pick that became Iowa State guard Talen Horton-Tucker. Since then, the team has been active in the undrafted free agent market, signing several rookies to training camp deals.

We will be keeping you updated with all the reports of the Lakers’ signees here.

Devontae Cacok

First reported by Jonathon Givony of DraftExpress, Cacok was signed to an Exhibit 10 deal by the Lakers, which gives him an incentive to sign with the South Bay Lakers if he is waived by the end of training camp. A four-year player from UNC Wilmington, Cacok is a bruiser, averaging 11.8 rebounds over his last three seasons. In that time, the 6-7 forward also averaged 16 points per game on 63.9 percent shooting from the field (and made the only 3-pointer he ever attempted).
