The Los Angeles Lakers entered draft day on Thursday without a pick, but they ended it with a slew of players added to their roster.
After nabbing the 35th pick from the Orlando Magic, L.A. used it to select Michigan State University guard Max Christie.
Afterward, Cole Swider, Fabian White Jr., Shareef O’Neal and Scotty Pippen Jr. joined the Lakers after not being taken in the 2022 NBA draft.
But they weren’t the only ones who were scooped up by the Purple and Gold.
Vitto Brown, who played his college ball for the University of Wisconsin, will play for the Lakers’ summer league entry next month.
The Los Angeles Lakers have added former Wisconsin Badger Vitto Brown to their Summer League roster, his agency Edge Sports told @hoopshype. Brown played well for Seville in Spain’s ACB league.

Brown wrapped up his college career a while ago. After his senior season with the Badgers in 2017, he entered the G League, spending three years there with four teams.
He spent the last two years playing overseas in France and Spain.
Brown is listed at 6 feet, 8 inches and 235 pounds. While in the G League, he showed some promise as a solid 3-point shooter.
