Los Angeles Lakers sign four more free agents to training camp roster

Just one day after signing free agent shooting guard Wayne Ellington, the Los Angeles Lakers inked four additional free agents to bring their training camp roster to 18 players overall, as the team signed Keith Appling, Jabari Brown, Roscoe Smith, and Jeremy Tyler, General Manager Mitch Kupchak announced today.

Brown, a teammate of Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson as a junior last season at Missouri, averaged 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 2013-14 before declaring himself eligible for the NBA Draft.

Smith was a member of the Lakers 2014 Summer League team, appearing in all five games after a three-year college career at UConn (2010-12) and ultimately UNLV (2013-14), where he averaged 11.1 points and 10.9 rebounds, while shooting 53.1% from the field.

Tyler is a three-year NBA veteran who has played in 104 games (23 starts) with the Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, and New York Knicks, averaging 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per contest.
