Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Lakers acquired the draft rights
to Darius Johnson-Odom from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for cash
considerations.
Johnson-Odom, chosen 55th overall, finished second in the Big East in scoring
last season by putting in 18.3 points per game in a shooting guard role for
Marquette.
"I want to be that guy that has that spark off the bench. Brings energy on the
defensive end. Knock down open shots," Johnson said on the Lakers' Twitter
feed.
The Lakers also selected 7-foot Gonzaga center Robert Sacre with the 60th and
final pick in the draft.
