One of the biggest surprises for the Los Angeles Lakers towards the end of the 2014-15 season was the emergence of shooting guard Jabari Brown, who was originally signed to a 10-day contract from the team’s D-League affiliate Los Angeles D-Fenders.
After his original 10-day contract expired, they signed him to a second one before signing him to a multi-year deal just a day after he scored 22 points against the Philadelphia 76ers.
He returned to the Lakers for Training Camp the following season, but ended up being waived just before the start of the regular season and spent some time playing in China before returning to the D-Fenders last March.
