Former Terps Star Julian Reese Signs with Lakers as Undrafted Free Agent
- On June 27, 2025, Maryland forward Julian Reese signed as an undrafted free agent to participate in the NBA Summer League representing the Los Angeles Lakers.
- After a notable collegiate career at Maryland, where he scored over 1,000 points and ranked among the top 10 in rebounds and blocks, Julian Reese was not selected during the 2025 NBA Draft.
- Standing 6-foot-9 and weighing 252 pounds, Reese posted averages of just over 13 points and 9 rebounds per outing last season and caught the attention of scouts with his strong performance at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in April.
- Angel Reese, his WNBA star sister, tweeted support on June 27 saying, "COME ON JU," while the Lakers view him as a potential addition amid their need for size and depth at center.
- Reese faces an uphill climb to make the Lakers roster but a strong Summer League showing could earn him a training camp invite or two-way contract with the team.
