According to a team press release, the Lakers have signed Quincy Olivari and Kylor Kelley to Exhibit 10 contracts. While neither is guaranteed a spot on the roster, they both have the opportunity to join the South Bay Lakers in the G League if they are released and could receive a $75,000 bonus if they stay there for 60 days.

Olivari joined the Lakers’ Summer League team as an undrafted free agent. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 5.8 points and 1.4 rebounds per game on 28% shooting from the field, 26% from the three-point line and 100% from the free throw line. Those numbers are a far cry from his averages at Xavier, where he scored 14.5 points per game on 41.5% shooting from the field and 38% from the three-point line.

Kelley, an athletic 7-foot-4 center, most recently played for the Boston Celtics’ G-League affiliate, the Maine Celtics. Last season, he averaged 8.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and a league-best 2.9 blocks per game while shooting 65 percent from the field. Kelley was also named to the All NBA G-League Defensive Team last season and has 105 blocks this year.
