The Los Angeles Lakers waived second-year guard Andrew Goudelock on Saturday, trimming their roster to 15 players.

The former second-round pick from the College of Charleston became something of a fan favorite last season, earning the nickname “Mini Mamba” from teammate Kobe Bryant for his ability to come off the bench and score quickly and in bunches. He averaged 4.4 points in 10.5 minutes a game in 40 games as a rookie.

“That was a tough one. That was one of the toughest cuts,” Lakers coach Mike Brown said. “He’s a great guy and an NBA player. Maybe he’ll get an opportunity someplace else if he finds a place that fits for him.”
