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.
