Source: Pacers ink former Husker SG Tominaga
Former Nebraska sharpshooter Keisei Tominaga will get an opportunity to show whether he’s worth a turn in the NBA, as he agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Indiana Pacers, a source told ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
Tominaga was named second-team All-Big Ten last season after helping lead Nebraska to an NCAA Tournament bid for the first time since 2014.
Winner of this year’s College Three-Point content, he notched 76 3-pointers last season, on his way to compiling a 37.4 percent clip for 3-pointers over his three seasons as a Cornhusker.
Tominaga averaged 11.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 22.7 minutes in 94 games (57 starts) with Nebraska.
An Exhibit 10 contract is essentially a tryout that includes a one-year, minimum-salary NBA contract. Teams have until the start of the regular season to convert that contract into a two-way contract with the player.
