Lakers have signed two players to Exhibit 10 contracts

With about a month and a half to go before the start of training camps across the NBA, the league is in its annual dead period, but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening behind the scenes.

Teams will have to bring in enough players to make for enough competition during camp while giving some underdog-type players and reclamation projects a chance to make their final rosters.

The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Wednesday that they signed Kylor Kelley and Quincy Olivari, and both were reportedly signed to Exhibit 10 deals. Both players originally went undrafted — Kelley was undrafted in 2020, while Olivari went undrafted a year ago.

Kelley stands seven feet tall and weighs 215 pounds, and he has spent the last few years with three different G League teams. In 29 games with the Maine Celtics this past season, he averaged 8.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots in 22.0 minutes per game.

While at Oregon State University, he was named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team in back-to-back seasons.

Olivari was on the Lakers’ summer league team last month, and in both the California Classic and the main Las Vegas summer league, he put up 5.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per game on 28.6% field-goal shooting and 26.7% from 3-point range. He scored 20 points in their final summer league contest, which was a 107-81 win over the Chicago Bulls.
