After being undrafted last month, former Nebraska player Keisei Tominaga—one of the Big Ten’s most effective shooters—will get an opportunity to play in the NBA.
The Indiana Pacers are expected to sign Tominaga as an Exhibit 10 free agent, per a report from ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
Tominaga averaged 15.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists on 37.6% shooting from three last season for Nebraska. His scoring numbers came in just 26.1 minutes per contest.
While he will need to improve defensively at the NBA level to secure a spot, his shooting prowess makes him an attractive roster candidate for Indiana this fall. At the very least, he could earn a two-way contract if he performs well in the Summer League and training camp.
Tominaga’s Exhibit 10 contract is a non-guaranteed deal at the league minimum. It doesn’t count against Indiana’s salary cap unless he makes the regular season roster. The contract can be converted to a two-way deal before the season, allowing Tominaga to play with both the Pacers and their G League affiliate.
