Former Vanderbilt forward Chris Mañon has reportedly agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
Mañon averaged 6.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.3 assists and one block on 53.3% shooting from the field in 33 games last season as a senior. He finished in double figures six times, including a season-high 23 points and 11 rebounds in a win over Missouri on March 1.
The 6-foot-5 standout played the first three years of college at Cornell and was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection as a junior, averaging 12.5 points, four rebounds, three assists and 2.2 steals. He led the conference in steals and steal percentage (5.5).
Mañon played with the Golden State Warriors in the California Classic and NBA Summer League, averaging nine points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks on 44.2% shooting from the field in seven appearances. He finished with a 17-point performance on Saturday.
The 23-year-old will split his time next season between the NBA and the South Bay Lakers in the G League. He is eligible to be active for up to 50 games in the NBA and will earn $636,435, equal to 50% of the minimum salary applicable to a player with zero years of service.
Mañon will now have the chance to begin his career with the Lakers and develop within the organization. He is expected to be the third player signed to a two-way contract by the team, along with Eric Dixon and Christian Koloko.
