Tyler Bilodeau has agreed to a two-way contract with the Nets after being selected with the 43rd pick on Wednesday night, sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Bilodeau, a 6’9″ forward from UCLA, is considered to be one of the best shooters in this year’s draft class. He averaged 17.6 points per game as a senior while connecting at 51.8% from the field and an impressive 46.4% from three-point range.
Brooklyn is also adding undrafted free agent Ben Humrichous on an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress (Twitter link). The 6’9″ forward was a valuable reserve for Illinois as the team reached the Final Four, averaging 5.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in 22.5 minutes per night. He had some impressive showings during his pre-draft workouts, Chepkevich adds.
In addition, the Nets are signing Dion Brown to an Exhibit 10 deal, per Brian Lewis of The New York Post (Twitter link). A 6’3″ senior guard, Brown finished up his college career this season at St. Louis after previously playing at UMBC and Boston College. He averaged 11.3 points and 5.4 rebounds with the Billikens.
Exhibit 10 contracts are non-guaranteed contracts that can guarantee a player up to a projected $91K if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with his team’s G League affiliate. They can also be converted to two-way contracts prior to the regular season.
