The Los Angeles Lakers have signed guard Jordan Goodwin to an Exhibit 10 contract as they prepare for the 2024-25 season. Goodwin, 25, previously played for the Memphis Grizzlies, where he averaged a career-high 10.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per game over 17 appearances last season. Despite his promising stats, he faces challenges due to his inefficient shooting percentages, with a 36.9% field goal and 29.8% three-point average last season. The Lakers are hoping Goodwin can enhance their defensive capabilities, which have been a weakness for the team. This signing adds to the Lakers' training camp roster as they seek depth, particularly with veteran star LeBron James returning for another season. The team's roster remains largely unchanged as they aim for improvement after last season's early playoff exit.
