BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Former Indiana wings Tucker DeVries and Lamar Wilkerson signed NBA Exhibit 10 contracts following the 2026 NBA Draft.

DeVries inked with the Boston Celtics, while Wilkerson signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

From the movie Moneyball --
"We're all told at some point in time that we can no longer play the children's game, we just don't know when that's gonna be."
Just joking. I hope they make it, make the G, or a euro league.
Lakers have Goode getting run this Summer as the Bron replacement.
Did Kopp settle in on an European career? Last I heard he was sort or balling out from 3 in the G League, but no Summer contract?
@middawg Miller is on a summer league team but forgot which one.

I saw where he signed a summer league deal with Houston. He had a 1 yr deal last year with the Cavs, but I couldn't tell you much more than that.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

I enjoyed watching L. Wilkerson play and thought he might have a chance in the NBA.
T. Devries, not so much. The buildup was that he was something of a sniper but he shot too low of a percentage.
OKC gets another 6'5"+ guy who can shoot - awesome. Love that for them. Hope both guys succeed, just wish Lamar wasn't on OKC lol

Devries looked liked he slimmed up for his summer and G league stint. Of course players shrink at the NBA combines. Maybe NBA unis just you look slimmer. He has a nice floor game if he can overcome the athleticism. Guys like Hauser and Scheierman don't scream athleticism and they have carved out roles.
The announcers in the Celts game I watched pronounced his name different than what I thought I've heard in college. Is it Dev reez or De Vreez?
My favorite De right now is DeLarrea (aka Larry). Mavs might have found a nice PG there in that kid. Mavs will play OKC Thursday so will get a look at Lamar.
