Lakers sign 20th pick Rush to contract

Associated Press

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Kareem Rush, acquired from Toronto by the Los Angeles Lakers on draft day, has signed a contract with the three-time defending NBA champions.

The Lakers acquired the rights to Rush, the 20th pick in the draft, along with forward Tracy Murray, in a deal that gave the Raptors guard Lindsey Hunter and the rights to Chris Jefferies, the 27th pick in the draft.

A 6-foot-6 guard, Rush declared for the draft after his junior season at Missouri. He averaged 18.9 points a game in his 84 college games.

No terms of his contract were announced.
