Joel Berry Faces Tough Competition for Roster Spot at Lakers Training Camp

Posted Sep 18, 2018
The Lakers didn’t get to use Joel Berry’s talents at summer league, as he recovered from an ankle injury. But the 23-year-old was a stud at North Carolina, where he earned First Team All-ACC honors. Berry was instant offense for UNC, ranking among the ACC’s top five in both 3-pointers and 3-point percentage. He’ll look to show the Lakers some of that spark at camp. (Los Angeles Lakers)
