Is it a coincidence they signed him in August?

Anyways, that's my guy. It might be similar to Sacre's training camp contract with the Pelicans. I'm hoping he's one of the guys that make the roster.

He'll last to Septembere . . . .

D-league until we're hit with injuries.

LOL!

But in all seriousness, I like his game and I thinke he could make the roster in place of Swagee

Let's see what he does in camp.

So far though he looks like all hustle.

Bye.

Runs floor, eats glass, excels as a dive guy in pick and roll. No surprise the Lakers signed Zach Auguste officially. Proud of a great kid.

I'm so glad we signed Zach.....I really wanted him since watching him in our Summer League games!! I have a great feeling about him.

Terrific hustle on the floor!!

Anyone else think he looks like Simmons (his looks not his play)?



Lakers Sign Zach Auguste

El Segundo - The Los Angeles Lakers have signed forward Zach Auguste, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.

I loved his toughness and energy when I watched him in Vegas against the 76ers. I give him credit for contributing in the way he did, as the typical undrafted player in SPL doesn't impact the game. With Walton and B Shaw on the sidelines, he was able to impress and earn this contract. Hopefully he keeps working hard so that he can make it into the rotation.

So this is a full-on signing, right? Not a camp invite?

Good thing I kept my Zach Auguste jersey from Summer League

Congrats and Welcome, Zach!

Terms of the deal are undisclosed, but seeing as how they made a point of announcing it last week I think they're a little higher on him than the usual training camp invites.

Waiting for the details to leak. I think if it was camp invite, they would have said so.

Either way, the energy he displayed during the SL contagious. Joakim Noah is a good comp for him, motor-wise.

Most likely just a camp invite.

Good for him though. Hopefully he's good enough to hold on to him for the D-League.

I would think it would have to be. Lakers I believe have 15 players already signed. Wouldn't they have to cut Nick Young before signing him to a guaranteed deal?

Some time in the D League would be great for him. We don't have a roster spot as of now but if one opens we can claim him. Unfortunately we have a lot of capable bodies ahead of him at PF and center.

This guy kinda reminds me of Kent Bazemore not in terms of playstyle or anything but Bazemore was also undrafted but was valued for his hustle and was a great teammate on the bench

Definitely deserved a camp invite. Hope he can play his way to a roster spot.
