Brandon Heath Joins Lakers

Yesterday it was announced that the Los Angeles Lakers signed free agent guard Brandon Heath. The terms of Heath’s agreement were not released per team policy. Last season Heath, a 6-3 guard from San Diego State, played for Entente Orleans 45 in France and averaged 12.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists throughout the 25 games played. In the 2008 Summer-Pro League Heath played for the Los Angeles Clippers in Las Vegas, where he averaged 5.6 points and 1.0 rebounds in the total of five games played.

The 6-foot-3 guard was the all-time leading score in San Diego State and Mountain West conference history and went unselected after the 2007 NBA draft, thus prompting him to play overseas. Heath is the only SDSU player in the school’s 86-season basketball history to produce a 30-point scoring game in all of his four seasons, according to his official Aztec player biography. In 2006 Heath helped the Aztecs make it to the NCAA Tournament and the following year to the second round of the 2007 NIT. The Los Angeles native attended Westchester High School, where he was a teammate of current Lakers forward Trevor Ariza.
