For a team that did not have a first-round pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers got a lot done.
They acquired the 35th selection from the Orlando Magic and used it on Michigan State University guard Max Christie. They signed several undrafted rookie free agents: Cole Swider, Shareef O’Neal and Scotty Pippen Jr.
And they would made sure they would have a full house for next month’s NBA Summer League.
Javante McCoy, a former guard for Boston University, will participate in the Lakers’ summer league entry and get a chance to show what he has to offer.

McCoy stayed at Boston University for five years, topping out at 17.4 points per game while shooting 49.5% overall from the field and hitting 42.5% from 3-point land in his final season.
He stands 6 feet, 5 inches and weighs 180 pounds, and he possesses pretty good athleticism. However, as a Boston University Terrier, he played in what is known as the Patriot League, which doesn’t exactly offer the highest level of competition in college basketball.
