The Lakers signed C.J. Giles, a 6-foot-11 free agent forward who finished his collegiate career at Oregon State after spending two years at Kansas. Giles averaged 6.3 points and 5.6 rebounds in 10 games last season for the Beavers.
Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers’ general manager, said earlier in the week that he hoped to have 18 or 19 players on the training camp roster. Giles’ signing brings the total to 18, so he could be the final name added to the roster. Training camp starts Sept. 30.
