Lakers reportedly sign 3 former SEC standouts to free-agent deals

The Los Angeles Lakers made a big splash recently, trading for former Kentucky superstar Anthony Davis.

However, the Lakers weren’t done adding former SEC players to their roster, as they signed three more ex-SEC stars on Saturday.

First up, it was former Kentucky PG and NBA veteran Rajon Rondo, who played with the Lakers last year, too:

Then, it was another ex-Wildcat, with big man DeMarcus Cousins signed a one-year deal with the team:

Finally, the Lakers added former Texas A&M PG Alex Caruso to the mix:

Add in Davis and former Georgia G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and that’s five ex-SEC athletes on the Los Angeles roster. Will they win a ring with LeBron James this season? Only time will tell.
