The Los Angeles Lakers have bolstered their roster ahead of the new NBA season by signing guards RJ Davis and Augustas Marčiulionis, alongside forwards Eric Dixon and Arthur Kaluma. Davis, a former All-ACC Player of the Year, showcased his potential at the University of North Carolina, averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in his final collegiate season. He played for the Lakers in the Summer League, proving his capabilities with a strong performance against the Denver Nuggets, where he scored 17 points.

Despite being undersized at 6 feet, Davis brings a robust skill set to the Lakers, particularly with his ability to hit pull-up jumpers and defend aggressively. His addition could support star players LeBron James and Luka Doncic, providing necessary depth in the backcourt as they aim for a competitive season.
