Vincent Valerio-Bodon signs contract for Exhibit 10

Vincent Valerio-Bodon signs contract for Exhibit 10

With the start of training camp just around the corner, the Los Angeles Lakers are rounding out their roster and G League roster for the 2024–25 season.

That included a number of Exhibit 10 contracts, which are non-guaranteed training camp deals that allow teams to keep players on their G League rosters. The Lakers recently signed guard Jordan Goodwin to an Exhibit 10 contract, and now it appears they’ve agreed to terms on another deal.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Lakers have signed winger Vincent Valerio-Bodon to a training camp contract:

The Lakers later confirmed the signing, making it official.

Valerio-Bodon is a 23-year-old, 6’1″ forward from Hungary. During the 2022-23 season, he played 29 games for Sopron KC of the Hungarian NBIA, averaging 8.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He is a sharp shooter from distance, hitting 41.2% of his 3-point shots. Last summer, he played one game for the Boston Celtics in the Las Vegas Summer League, scoring 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting with six rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes.

He then signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers and spent the 2023–24 season with South Bay, where he averaged 5.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game while making 39.1% of his three-point shots.

Valerio-Bodon then played in two games for the Lakers during the Las Vegas Summer League this year, averaging 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 15.8 minutes per game.

The Lakers have placed additional emphasis on the development of their players under new head coach JJ Redick, and considering Valerio-Bodon has been with the team for a year now, it will be interesting to follow his progress during training camp.

While LA doesn’t currently have a roster spot for him or any of the other Exhibit 10 additions, there’s always the chance something could come up later if one of the players impresses enough.

South Bay Lakers release roster for 2024-25 G League

Vincent Valerio-Bodon will likely spend the 2024-25 season in the G League with the South Bay Lakers, and with the release of their full schedule, he now knows what that entails.

The NBA G League season is divided into the Tip-Off Tournament and the regular season. South Bay will play 14 games through the 2024 NBA G League Winter Showcase.

South Bay’s regular schedule includes 24 home games, including 12 games on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The team also has nine consecutive games, including back-to-back games in Mexico City on Friday, Jan. 3 and Saturday, Jan. 4.
