Almost immediately after the draft, the Los Angeles Lakers called Will Conroy's agent, inquiring as to his interest in joining their summer-league team with a chance to earn a free-agent invitation to training camp.

Yesterday, it became a done deal, and Conroy — a former Washington Husky and Garfield High star — will fly to Los Angeles on Tuesday to begin preparations to play with the Lakers' entry in the Summer Pro League at Long Beach, beginning July 8.
