Nets Sign Nick Pringle to Exhibit 10 Deal
The short-term contract gives Brooklyn a low-risk way to evaluate the 6'10" forward for a two-way roster spot or to secure his rights for the Long Island G League team.
Overview
- The Nets signed forward Nick Pringle to an Exhibit 10 contract, which was reported Tuesday and confirmed by NetsDaily and Yahoo Sports.
- Pringle is a 24-year-old, 6'10", 230-pound forward who went undrafted in June after a six-year college career that included stops at Wofford, Dodge City CC, Alabama, South Carolina, and Arkansas.
- An Exhibit 10 is commonly used as a training-camp invite or as a mechanism to assign a player to a G League affiliate with the potential for up to an $85,000 bonus if the player stays 60 days on the G League roster.
- Brooklyn has a pattern of signing players to Exhibit 10 deals and then waiving them so their G League rights go to Long Island and the Nets currently have one open two-way slot that Pringle could compete for.
- If Pringle is not retained for Brooklyn's camp he is likely to join the Long Island Nets and the key things to watch are whether Brooklyn keeps him for training camp, awards him the two-way spot, or waives him to trigger the Exhibit 10 bonus structure.
