Rumor: Pistons to sign rookie Tosan Evbuomwan to two-way contract

Tosan Evbuomwan, who went undrafted last year out of Princeton, will reportedly sign a two-way contract with the Pistons.

Tosan Evbuomwan, who went undrafted last year out of Princeton, will reportedly sign a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Evbuomwan, who is from England, joined the Pistons for the NBA Summer League last year and averaged seven points, four rebounds and 1.3 assists in three appearances. He went through training camp with the team and started the season in the G League with the Motor City Cruise.

The 23-year-old is averaging 15.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists on 34.7% shooting from 3-point range in 29 games with the Cruise. He produced five 20-point games, including a season-high 24 points, 17 rebounds and four steals on Dec. 21.

Evbuomwan signed a 10-day contract with the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 30 and a 10-day contract with the Pistons on Feb. 12. He is averaging three points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 33.3% shooting from 3-point range in five appearances.

The Pistons were able to sign Evbuomwan to a two-way contract after they converted Stanley Umude to a two-year contract. They will also have Jared Rhoden and Buddy Boeheim signed to two-way contracts after a series of recent moves.

Evbuomwan emerged as a productive player this year in the G League and was rewarded with a two-way contract. He will be able to continue his development with the Pistons and Cruise.

2023 Lakers draft prospect profile: Tosan Evbuomwan

A look at Tosan Evbuomwan, a forward from Princeton University.

Many would agree the Los Angeles Lakers need to pick up a guard or two this offseason. They need to do so as either an upgrade or a replacement for one or more of the guards on their roster who might leave in free agency.

But make no mistake: The Lakers could also use one or two wings or frontcourt players to bolster their championship hopes next season.

Not only will they have the No. 17 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, but they also will have the No. 47 selection. Los Angeles has had some uncanny success in recent years when it comes to finding gems late in the draft.

One player they recently worked out who could become a gem is Tosan Evbuomwan from Princeton University.

Catching up with the Boston Celtics’ 2023 NBA draft workouts part III

Another round of prospective Celtics have worked out for Boston ahead of the 2023 NBA draft.

Win or lose in the NBA’s 2023 Eastern Conference Finals series with the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics have plenty on their plate regarding their future as they continue to work out prospects projected to go in the second round of the ’23 NBA draft.

With the Celtics likely to need cheap depth in the future, look for prospects who are either polished enough to get some depth minutes in their rookie campaign or who might be okay with a season or two stashed abroad while the team makes decisions about how it will use the new two way player slot added to rosters in the latest collective bargaining agreement recently adopted by the league.

Adding to our previous reporting of the team’s known workouts comes a new wave courtesy of our sister sites Rookie Wire and HoopsHype as well as the New York Times’ Adam Zagoria — let’s take a look at who Boston has been scoping out.
