The Lakers have officially signed undrafted players Javante McCoy and Fabian White Jr. to Exhibit 10 contracts, the team announced on social media today (Twitter link). Both agreements were reported shortly after the draft last month.
McCoy, a 6’5″ guard, averaged an impressive 17.4 points per game for Boston University last season. He also shot a scorching 49.5% from the floor and 42.5% from three-point range.
White, a 6’8″ forward, played five seasons at Houston before declaring for the draft. He averaged 12.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game last season, shooting 49% from the floor.
McCoy and White both played for the Lakers during the Las Vegas Summer League. So far, they are the only players Los Angeles has signed to Exhibit 10 deals. McCoy and White could compete for a spot in training camp or play for the team’s G League affiliate this season.
The Lakers have now filled 18 spots on their 20-man offseason roster.
Gotta be Jelani McCoy’s son, looks just like him
No relation
* Jelani looks completely baked every time I’ve seen him up close, cool dude tho
This is 1 of the main reasons I always liked him. Always seemed high asf
He’s lived a good and super interesting baller life.
I always pictured Jazz music going off in his head and playing basketball was his cello. This dude still probably dominates your local 24 hr fitness today without you even knowing it
McCoy shot reasonably well in SL scoring 10.2 ppg on 48% shooting, but was cold from three at 20%.
Lakers need help, might as well do the Exhibit 10 thing with a 5 year college player.
His father’s name is William.
@Sank- You seen the Sierra Canyon “Top Class” yet on Amazon Prime ?
I think we’ve talked in the past about watching the Ball games live. I grew up w/in 25 miles of that HS
Nah I haven’t. I’m on the last episode of ZeroZeroZero on prime so ima need something else to watch soon. I’ll check it out this week
Jelani is the real McCoy
