The Raptors have signed free agent guard Jared Rhoden, the team announced (via Twitter).
It’s an Exhibit 10 deal, a source tells Blake Murphy of Sportsnet (Twitter link), which means Rhoden will be invited to camp with no assurances of earning a roster spot or a two-way contract. He can receive a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he’s waived and spends at least 60 days with Toronto’s G League affiliate.
Rhoden, 24, played the past two years on two-way contracts with the Pistons, appearing in 31 total games. Last season he averaged 4.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 17 games while shooting 50% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range.
A former standout at Seton Hall, Rhoden signed with the Trail Blazers after going undrafted in 2022. He was waived before the start of the season and claimed by the Hawks, who waived him the next day.
Toronto has now reached the training camp limit of 21 players, Murphy adds (Twitter link). That total breaks down to 14 guaranteed contracts, Bruno Fernando‘s non-guaranteed deal, three two-way players and three with Exhibit 10 contracts. That includes Quincy Guerrier, whose Exhibit 10 deal has been reported, but not confirmed by the Raptors. Murphy notes that the team has plenty of room below the tax line to make in-season roster moves.
Meh
I said that last year when he came to the Pistons. He might play well there though
