Following the departure of a dissatisfied forward in free agency, the Lakers formally sign a 6-foot-7 player.

While LaRavia only averages 6.9 points for his career, there’s no question he’s a solid offensive fit alongside Luka Doncic and LeBron James.

 

The Lakers’ superstar duo thrives when they can locate capable shooters on the perimeter and rely on them to finish possessions with made three-point baskets.

 

LaRavaia connected on 42.3% of his long-range jumpers with the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings last season, improving his career three-point shooting percentage to 37.1%.

 

Considering the Wake Forest product isn’t a slouch on the defensive end, either, the Lakers should feel confident about their newly signed forward’s chances of contributing from the get-go in 2025-26.
