Tres Tinkle Signs With Lakers - Building the Dam

-

Tres Tinkle wasn't picked in this week's NBA Draft, but it was expected that some team in the league would give him a shot. Today, we've finally got our answer, as Tinkle has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tinkle has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers. An Exhibit 10 contract is a one year, league minimum salary contract, with a bonus if the player ends up playing for the team's G-League affiliate. For Tinkle, this could mean up to a $50,000 bonus if he ends up spending time with the South Bay Lakers.

Tinkle, of course, needs no introduction for Beavers fans, but if you're new here, he's the programs all time leading scorer. He finished his Oregon State career with 2233 points, 882 rebounds and 374 assists. That's a 17.7 points per game average. Probably good enough to drag Lebron James to another championship if he needs the help.

Tennis at the Olympic Games has delivered us some of the most incredible scenes in the sport's history. Whether on clay in Barcelona, grass in London or hard courts elsewhere, these moments have inspired fans and forever changed the players who created them, making them national heroes and often altering the course of their careers. Who could forget Justine Henin's comeback from 5-1 down in the semifinals against Anastasia Myskina, on her way to gold in Athens? Or Russia's domination of the women's singles medal podium in Beijing 2008, led by Elena Dementieva? Or Juan Martin del Potro's epic run to the Rio 2016 final, including wins over Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? Those are just some of the iconic moments that have unfolded since tennis returned to the Summer Games in 1988 after a 64-year absence.  And here are the 10 that have stayed with us most.

Today, we have decided to take a look at the players with the best average ratings in NBA 2K history throughout their various times featured in the game.
