The Los Angeles Lakers signed Jeffrey Carroll to an Exhibit 10 contract in undrafted free agency soon after the Oklahoma State guard went unselected in the 2018 NBA Draft.
If the Exhibit 10 contract sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the same type of contract the Lakers signed Travis Wear to last year during the preseason, and allows them to later convert the contract into a two-way contract.
So why is such a contract significant? Well, it signals that the Lakers — who already gave one of their two-way contracts to Kansas guard Malik Newman at the start of undrafted free agency — have at least some level of interest in keeping Carroll around.
