Lakers sign Tar Heels guard RJ Davis to Exhibit 10 contract
After the 2025 NBA Draft concluded on Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers continued to put in work by picking up some undrafted players. They got Eric Dixon, a forward from Villanova University who led the NCAA in scoring this past season, to agree to a two-way contract, and they also brought in Saint Mary's College guard Augustas Marčiulionis, the son of Hall of Famer Šarūnas Marčiulionis, on an Exhibit 10 contract.
Los Angeles also got RJ Davis, a guard out of the University of North Carolina, on an Exhibit 10 deal as well after he went undrafted. He played all five of his seasons in the NCAA with the Tar Heels and was the ACC Player of the Year in 2024.
Davis, who is a native of suburban New York City, is a speedy guard who averaged 17.2 points and 3.6 assists a game this past season. He is a decent outside shooter who made 36.7% of his 5.6 3-point attempts a game for his career, but his strong suit is attacking the rim and finishing.
He's also an outstanding free throw shooter who made 86.1% of his foul shots in his five years with the Tar Heels.
