Undrafted free agent rookie guard Judah Mintz has signed an Exhibit 10 training camp contract with the Sixers, the team announced today in a press release.
A former All-ACC Second Teamer during his two-year tenure at Syracuse, the 6’3″ guard posted averages of 18.8 points, 4.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game last season, with a shooting line of .438/.282/.765.
Former Rice forward Max Fiedler is the other player currently on an Exhibit 10 deal in Philadelphia. All three of the Sixers’ two-way contract slots are occupied at present, by Justin Edwards, David Jones and Jeff Dowtin. Thirteen players are currently signed to guaranteed standard roster spots, with a 14th, shooting guard Ricky Council IV, inked to a non-guaranteed deal.
It’s possible that, should Mintz or Fiedler impress in training camp, the Sixers could waive one of the current two-way signings and convert either player to a two-way deal. However, it’s more likely that they’ll become affiliate players for the Delaware Blue Coats, Philadelphia’s G League affiliate.
If an Exhibit 10 signee is waived and then spends at least 60 days with his team’s NBAGL affiliate, he can earn a bonus worth up to $77.5K.
Junior Mintz is horrible. He should have stayed in Syracuse, but as a fan I’m glad he’s gone. Low efficiency scorer that can’t do much else.
He has no outside shot
Wow, you are harsh. He looked decent during summer league averaging just over 9 a game, solid perimeter defender against summer league comp. The game against Boston he showed some real positives. I actually thought he might get our last 2 way prior to signing Dowtin. I don’t know enough about him to know if he can crack an NBA roster but for an undrafted guy he exceeded expectations and earned his way to the g league.
lol, sorry. I am harsh because I had to watch him play at Syracuse so I am bitter/biased. But he definitely should have stayed in school another year. I get the impulse to go to the pros if you can but with another year of work, it’s very possible that he could have been drafted instead of the route he’s currently on. Hope he does well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he washes out pretty quickly.
10 day exhibit contract and our friend goes lil Wayne on the plane. I sense sixers hate.
