According to The Athletic's Los Angeles Lakers reporter Dan Woike, the undrafted NBA draft this year, Arthur Kaluma, a Texas forward senior striker, will sign a training camp contract with the Lakers that includes Exhibit 10 clauses.
Karuma was born in March 2002 and is 23 years old. She is a forward player with good physical talent and excellent counterattack ability. According to physical test data in last year's G League Elite Training Camp, Karuma's bare feet are 200cm tall, her wingspan is 215.9cm, her standing height is 262.9cm, and her weight is 100.4kg. In the NCAA field this season, Karuma, who transferred from Kansas State to join the University of Texas, played 33 times in total, with averaging 29.3 minutes per game, averaging 12.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks. She also had 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. She shot 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage 35.9%, and 78.4% from free throws.
From the perspective of characteristics, Karuma has a very good physical talent and has a decent athletic ability. His offense is able to score through off-ball movements and inside impacts, and his ability to shoot from outside has also been further improved. On the defensive end, Karuma's performance in rebounding protection is also worthy of recognition and has certain threats to outside shooting. He also has a very good rebounding protection ability on the defensive end. However, Karuma is obviously older. He has been in the NCAA for many years and has experienced many transfers, but his performance has never made substantial progress. Some of his own shortcomings have not improved significantly. This also shows that his potential is not high and his future development space may be relatively limited. It seems that Karuma is relatively comprehensive and is a player with good comprehensive abilities, but he also lacks a particularly outstanding skill.
Of course, Karuma is not without a chance. After all, his maturity is there. He has the opportunity to gain more trust in the Lakers uniform group through his performance in the next NBA summer league. Karuma's comprehensive ability determines that he should have the opportunity to show sufficient competitiveness in the NBA Summer League and NBA Development League games. The Lakers have previously given Eric Dixon a two-way contract to the undrafted Eric Dixon, which also shows that they also hope to make some adjustments in the two-way contract players. If Karuma can show a high enough level in the low-level game, we will also have a chance to see him in the Lakers' squad next season?
