The Los Angeles Lakers have added Augustas Marciulionis, the standout guard from Saint Mary's, to their roster following the 2025 NBA draft. Signing him to an Exhibit 10 deal secures his position with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League. Marciulionis, a two-time WCC Player of the Year, averaged 14.2 points and 5.9 assists last season, showcasing his skills as a premier pick-and-roll player.

Despite battling a foot injury that kept him from participating in the pre-draft process, the Lakers are keen to develop Marciulionis as he recovers. His lineage, being the son of NBA Hall of Famer Sarunas Marciulionis, adds a compelling storyline to his journey. The Lakers are confident that once Marciulionis regains full health, he can make a significant impact in the G-League, potentially earning a two-way contract.
