LOS ANGELES —Shortly after the culmination of the NBA Draft, recent Saint Mary's Graduate and four year point guard Augustas Marciulionis was able to take the first steps towards what could be a long and fruitful professional career, signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. The conductor of a well orchestrated Gaels squad over the past two seasons, Marciulionis will hope to join the likes of recent Gaels such as Alex Ducas, Jordan Ford, Jock Landale, Malik Fitts and Matthew Dellavedova as Saint Mary's alumni who went undrafted and made the NBA.
An Exhibit 10 contract in the NBA is a one-year, non-guaranteed deal for the league minimum salary, often including a bonus if the player is later waived and joins the team's G League affiliate. These contracts are used to bring in players for training camp and Summer League, with the potential to be converted into a two-way contract before the regular season begins.
Marciulionis is coming off of the final season of his illustrious Saint Mary's career, a career that saw him win WCC Player of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons. He is one of just three Gaels to appear in four NCAA tournaments in four years (Mitchell Saxen and Luke Barrett) as well as one of only three Gaels to score 1000 points and 500 assists in his career (Matthew Dellavedova and Emmett Naar).
