Lakers sign Hall of Famer's son in sleeper move after NBA Draft

The Los Angeles Lakers already have one (future) Hall of Famer's son on their roster in the form of Bronny James, who gets to play with his dad LeBron.

The new addition to L.A. won't get to play with his dad, who is already in the Hall of Fame. He's got great basketball genes to bring to Hollywood.

After the NBA Draft concluded the Lakers agreed on an undrafted free agent Exhibit 10 deal with Augustas Marčiulionis, per ESPN's Jonathan Givony. That type of contract incentivizes Marčiulionis to stick with the Lakers' G League team if he doesn't make the NBA roster.

Marčiulionis is the son of Sarunas, one of the greatest Lithuanian basketball players ever.

Sarunas didn't join the league until he was 25, and across seven seasons, he averaged 12.8 points and 2.2 assists per game for the Warriors, Supersonics, Kings and Nuggets.

"His dad was really good," Alabama coach Nate Oats said during the NCAA Tournament. "I loved watching his dad play. He could really shoot. He's crafty. He's skilled. He's tough. I loved watching him play."

Augustas played four years at St. Mary's, one of the top mid-major programs in the country.

He averaged 14 points and 6 assists per game in his final season with the Gaels.

Augustas missed the pre-draft process with a foot injury, according to Givony, but the two-time WCC Player of the Year is expected to be at full strength by the end of July.

Don't be surprised if a guy with the basketball pedigree and upbringing of Marčiulionis finds a way to stick around in the NBA.
