Los Angeles Lakers fans will get more chances to root for point guard Marcelo Huertas, who agreed to a two-year deal, according to The Vertical.

The 33-year-old Huertas averaged just 4.5 points and 3.4 assists in only 16.4 minutes, but it was his penchant for making highlight-reel passes that made him a fan favorite at Staples Center.

Huertas, who was a restricted free agent, is the third point guard on the Lakers roster, joining Jose Calderon and D'Angelo Russell. Huertas, who completed his first NBA campagin, spent 14 years playing in South America and Europe before joining the Lakers last season.
