The Los Angeles Lakers are not yet done retooling their roster, adding two new faces on Tuesday. The Lakers announced that they have signed DeVontae Cacok and Aric Holman.
Cacok went undrafted in last month's draft. The 22-year-old forward played four years at UNC Wilmington, where he averaged 12.3 points and 9.8 rebounds. His best year was during his junior season when he posted 17.7 points and 13.5 rebounds in 32 games, including 29 starts. In his sophomore year, he averaged 12.3 points on 80 percent shooting from the field.
Holman was also not drafted last month but will get an opportunity to showcase his skills for the Lakers. He spent four seasons at Mississippi State, where he averaged 8.3 points and 6.2 rebounds to go along with 1.6 blocks in 124 games.
Cacok and Holman will join fellow rookie Talen Horton-Tucker. The former Iowa State standout was selected 46th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Lakers acquired the pick in a trade with the Orlando Magic, who got a 2020 second-round pick and cash in the deal.
The Lakers will feature a new-look roster next season after adding Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Danny Green, Troy Daniels, Avery Bradley, Quinn Cook and Jared Dudley. The also kept LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, JaVale McGee, Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
