The Lakers have agreed to terms on a two-way contract with former Miami (OH) guard Peter Suder.
The agreement, which was first reported by HoopsHype of the USA Today Network and shared by his agency Edge Sports International, came immediately after Suder wasn’t selected in the 2026 NBA draft.
Suder averaged 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4 assists in his final season with the RedHawks, helping Miami clinch its first regular-season conference championship in 21 years after the RedHawks’ perfect 31-0 regular season, which included 18-0 in conference games.
The 6-foot-5 combo guard shot 54.6% from the field, including 59.7% on 2-pointrs and 42.1% on 3-pointers, in 2025-26.
He won the 2026 MAC Player of the Year, Miami’s first Conference Player of the Year since Michael Bramos in 2008-09, and led the program to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007.
Suder was a two-time All-MAC first team honoree after transferring from Bellarmine, where he spent his first two college seasons.
The Lakers also agreed to sign former Vanderbilt forward AK Okereke to a two-way deal on Wednesday.
