Xavier Castaneda Signing Exhibit 10 Deal With Clippers

The Clippers will sign Xavier Castaneda to an Exhibit 10 contract, tweets Jon Chepkevich of Draft Express.

Castaneda was an All-MAC selection this season at Xavier, where he averaged 21.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game as a fifth-year senior. The 23-year-old played three seasons at South Florida before transferring to the Zips.

Exhibit 10 deals are non-guaranteed, but they can be converted into two-way contracts before the start of the season and they give players an opportunity to earn bonuses if they are waived and spend at least 60 days with their team’s G League affiliate. Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, that bonus has been raised from $50K to $75K.
