The Los Angeles Lakers announced the signings of Javante McCoy and Fabian White Jr., both of whom played with the team for Summer League.

Each player will be given Exhibit-10 contract, which comes with a training camp invite. The organization will have the rights to send McCoy and/or White Jr. to their G-League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, should they not make the opening night roster.

McCoy, a bouncy 6'5 shooting guard, was a standout throughout Summer League, averaging 10.2 points in 20.4 minutes while displaying an impressive (and highly entertaining) bag of dribble moves, step-backs, and crossovers. The 24-year-old averaged 13.1 points on nearly 38 percent three-point shooting over five seasons at Boston University. In 2021-22, he averaged 17.4 PPG and shot 42.5% from downtown or the Terriers.

Fabian White Jr. only saw spot minutes at the California Classic and NBA 2K23 Summer League in Las Vegas. The 6'8 forward (with a 7'0 wingspan) also spent five seasons in D-1, and became the winningest player in the history of Houston Cougars basketball, as the program went 143-30 during his tenure. White Jr.'s Exhibit-10 deal was first reported by Ari Alexander of KRPC after the 2022 NBA Draft.

“It means everything,” White Jr. said about the Lakers taking a chance on him. “All the work I’ve put in has paid off. (Dealing with) the torn ACL, all the sprints I had to run, it all paid off.”

Fellow rookies Cole Swider and Scotty Pippen Jr. will participate in Lakers training camp on two-way contracts. 19-year-old Max Christie, whom the franchise selected in the second round of the draft, was signed to a two-year deal and will presumably begin the season on the active roster.
