The Los Angeles Lakers agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with G-League MVP Vander Blue, sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania.
The 25-year-old made 47 appearances for the South Bay Lakers in 2016-17, averaging 24.8 points on 43.4 percent shooting, 5.1 rebounds, three assists, and 1.6 steals in 34.8 minutes.
He was also a member of the All-NBA G-League first team, and a G-League All-Star for a third time.
With the Lakers' summer league squad in Las Vegas, Blue was once again effective, with averages of 15 points, 3.8 rebounds, and three dimes over eight outings.
Blue went undrafted in 2013 out of Marquette, and has suited up for just five NBA games for both the Lakers and Boston Celtics.
