Samson Johnson signed to Exhibit 10 deal with Pacers

[REB1094]

This means that he will go through training camp, and the Pacers will have the option to either convert to a two way (upward of $500k per year), or waive him and keep his G League rights (probably around $50k per year with a bonus if he stays on the roster for more than a few months)

Congrats Samson!

Could work well if he's paired with a good and selfless point guard.

I still think that he would work himself into a lineup in his first year to two years, maybe getting some minutes in the NBA after he continues to grind like he does.. Didn’t like to read about Ashworth. He seems like a really nice kid, hope it works out for him.

Indiana has used all their two way contracts currently, so it's less likely they'll convert him. He'd have to really shine and then they'd waive one of the other guys.

Now Ashworth can finally follow his destiny of becoming an accountant, to SJs benefit.

Congrats to Samson. Great way to start a pro career. I don't know that the NBA is in his future but he'll be playing pro for many years, probably in a pretty good league. Best of luck to him!

He is going to absolutely manhandle some lawyers league

SJ was much under valued on the BY.

I thought he was signed to the exhibit 10 deal back in June

I posted a few times that Johnson if he cleaned up a few things would have a chance to find some type of role on an nba team. He is either a true 6’9” maybe 6’10” super athlete.

His athletic ability for his size is not common. How quickly he jumps not only on his first jump but on those occasions where a player has to go after a rebound twice. Those are skills that cannot be taught. Maybe he never makes it onto an nba roster.

But I am certainly rooting for him.

Rooting for him, but in today's NBA, I don't see it. The hands.........
