Former Northwestern and North Carolina forward Pete Nance is looking to follow in his dad and brother’s footsteps in the NBA. On Saturday, Nance took a step forward in that goal.
Nance has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers per Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. The deal will allow Cleveland to sign Nance to a two-way contract with their G-League affiliate team if he impresses in Summer League play for the Cavaliers.
The goal for Nance now is to make a big impact in Summer League play and impress the Cavaliers to earn another deal.

After playing four seasons at Northwestern, Nance transferred to North Carolina for his final year. But it was an up-and-down one for the forward who started alongside Armando Bacot and Leaky Black.
Nance averaged 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the field. He did hit a game-tying shot against Ohio State in December that sent the game to overtime in the CBS Sports Classic.
