Tosan Evbuomwan Signs With Detroit Pistons
June 23, 2023 | Men's Basketball
DETROIT – Senior Tosan Evbuomwan of the Princeton University men's basketball team took the first step in his professional career following the 2023 NBA Draft early Friday morning, signing an Exhibit-10 contract with the Detroit Pistons.
An Exhibit-10 contract is a one-year, minimum-salary NBA deal. It allows the franchise to convert the contract to a two-way contract, should the change be made prior to the start of the regular season.
"Tosan has worked so diligently and purposefully for this and has had his sights set on the NBA for a very long time and he's going to be such a great asset to the Pistons" said Franklin C. Cappon-Edward C. Green '40 Head Coach Mitch Henderson. "I'm just so happy for him and his family."
Â
After first attending the NBA G League Elite Camp inside Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois from May 13 until May 14, Evbuomwan extended his stay in the Windy City when he was one of eight NBA Combine invitees from the G League Elite Camp. The NBA Combine ran from May 15 until May 21.
Â
Named to the NCAA South Region All-Tournament Team after leading the Tigers to the Sweet Sixteen, Evbuomwan accumulated an impressive list of accolades in 2022-23 that includes National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District 13 First Team, Ivy League Tournament Most Outstanding Player, Ivy Madness All-Tournament Team, Unanimous Ivy League First Team, Academic All-Ivy League, College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District and London Basketball Classic MVP. Evbuomwan was also the 2022 Unanimous Ivy League Player of the Year in 2021-22, also collecting First Team All-Ivy and All-District honors.
In addition, Evbuomwan's 161 assists in 2022-23 tied the program record for most assists in a season, and his 323 career assists rank No. 6 on the Tigers' all-time list for assists. Evbuomwan also joined the 1,000-point club in 2022-23, and his 1,033 points rank No. 34 all-time in school history.
