Lakers predicted to sign $15M extremely athletic former first-rounder to pair with Luka Doncic
The Los Angeles Lakers are still looking to add to the roster. They could give this former first-rounder a real chance to revitalize his NBA career if they sign him.
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly in talks to sign Cam Whitmore, a highly athletic former first-round draft pick, to a $15 million contract. This move would pair the 23-year-old with Luka Doncic. Whitmore, who was waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers, has averaged 10.5 points and 35% from three during his three NBA seasons with the Rockets and Wizards.
Lakers insider Maxwell Ogden believes Whitmore could help the Lakers space the floor and elevate Doncic's teammates' play. Whitmore appears to be on the verge of running out of opportunities and would likely benefit from being part of an offensive system alongside Reaves and Doncic.
