After going undrafted, Tennessee’s Igor Milicic Jr. has agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Sixers, reports Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress (Twitter link).
Milicic bounced around during his four college seasons, spending one year with Virginia, two at Charlotte, and one with the Volunteers before becoming automatically draft-eligible this spring. The 6’10” forward, whom Chepkevich lauds for his “two-way versatility,” averaged 9.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 25.4 minutes per game across 37 starts for Tennessee as a senior.
Milicic was the No. 70 prospect on ESPN’s final big board entering the draft and ranks 18th among the players who went undrafted.
Milicic is the second undrafted rookie said to have reached a contract agreement with the 76ers, who are reportedly signing Hunter Sallis to a two-way deal. Milicic’s contract will be entirely non-guaranteed, but could pay him a bonus worth up to $85K if he’s waived before the season begins and then spends at least 60 days with Philadelphia’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.
It’s also possible Milicic will get an opportunity to vie for a two-way contract, since an Exhibit 10 deal can be converted into a two-way prior to the regular season.
