The Pistons have agreed to sign undrafted free agent Dawson Garcia, reports Darren Wolfson of SKOR North and KSTP (via Twitter).
The details of the deal are unspecified, but it’s likely a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract. An Exhibit 10 could be converted to a two-way deal before the season or would put Garcia in line for a bonus worth up to $85K if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Motor City Cruise, Detroit’s G League affiliate.
Garcia is a 6’11” lefty forward who spent the last three seasons for the University of Minnesota after playing for Marquette as a freshman and UNC as a sophomore.
The 23-year-old averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game this past season while shooting 37.3% on 4.2 three-point attempts per contest — the points, rebounds, and three-point tries were all career highs. Over his five collegiate seasons, Garcia made 35.3% of 417 shots from beyond the arc.
Wolfson adds that Garcia had a strong pre-draft workout and visit with the Pistons, one of several NBA teams he met with this spring.
