OKC Thunder sign Rutgers’ Caleb McConnell to exhibit-10 deal

The Thunder added an undrafted free agent.

The roster additions don’t stop following the final pick of the NBA draft. Undrafted free agency is another avenue teams use to add to their roster. The pool of talent is large as teams negotiate with players who were not selected in the two rounds.

The Oklahoma City Thunder signed undrafted free agent Caleb McConnell to an exhibit-10 deal, per Rutgers University.

Exhibit-10 deals give teams the option to look at someone before they commit to them on a two-way deal. This means McConnell will have summer league and likely the preseason to persuade OKC to add him to their roster in one of its two-way spots.

The 24-year-old spent five college seasons at Rutgers (2018-2023). In 28 games last season, he averaged 9.1 points on 39.5% shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He also shot 20.3% from 3 on an average of 2.3 attempts per game.

He previously posted about his workout with the Thunder on his Instagram story on June 11.
