The Nuggets will sign Virginia’s Armaan Franklin to an Exhibit 10 contract, tweets Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.
The 22-year-year old guard was the Cavaliers’ leading scorer this season at 12.4 points per game and earned a spot on the All-ACC Tournament team. He transferred to Virginia in 2021 after playing his first two years at Indiana.
Franklin will join the NBA champs for training camp and will have an opportunity to turn the Exhibit 10 contract into a two-way deal. If he is waived, he can earn a bonus worth up to $75K if he spends at least 60 days with Denver’s G League affiliate, the Rapids City Gold.
