Xavier Castaneda Agrees To Exhibit 10 Deal With Clippers

The Clippers have agreed to sign Xavier Castaneda to an Exhibit 10 contract, tweets Jon Chepkevich of Draft Express.

Castaneda was an All-MAC selection this season at Akron, where he averaged 21.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game as a fifth-year senior. The 23-year-old played three seasons at South Florida before transferring to the Zips.

Exhibit 10 deals are non-guaranteed, but they can be converted into two-way contracts before the start of the season and they give players an opportunity to earn bonuses if they are waived and spend at least 60 days with their team’s G League affiliate. Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, that bonus can be worth up to $75K rather than $50K.
