The NBA dreams of [autotag]Jalen Pickett[/autotag] and [autotag]Seth Lundy[/autotag] are continuing to become more of a reality after they officially signed their deals with the Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks.
After being drafted in the second round by the current NBA champions, Pickett helped show off the new jerseys that the Nuggets will be wearing to celebrate their first championship.
Michael Scotto, NBA writer for HoopsHype and USA TODAY Sports reported that Pickett signed a four-year, $8.3 million deal. The first three years of the deal are fully guaranteed as well.
The Hawks announced that they signed Lundy to a two-way contract but did not disclose the terms of the deal. Lundy will most likely see the majority of his rookie season on the College Park Skyhawks, the G League affiliate of Atlanta.
Both Pickett and Lundy will get their first taste of NBA basketball when they play in the Las Vegas Summer League starting on July 7th.
Pickett will also be joined by a familiar face on the Denver Nuggets Summer League roster. [autotag]Andrew Funk[/autotag] will be lacing them up for the defending champions with hopes of signing a contract of his own with the Nuggets or another team in the league.
Pickett, Funk, and Lundy will all be in action on the first day of games July 7th. The Nuggets face the Milwaukee Bucks and the Hawks face the Kings.
The Penn State teammates will play against each other Sunday, July 9th at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBATV.
All the games can be found on either the ESPN family of networks or on NBATV.
