The Toronto Raptors are bringing in some major size.
Undrafted centre Nate Bittle has agreed to sign with the Raptors, the team announced on Friday.
Although terms of the deal were not announced, Sportsnet's Blake Murphy reported it's an Exhibit 10 contract for Bittle. This is a one-year minimum-salary NBA deal that is not fully guaranteed, often used during the off-season and into training camp for roster evaluation, while allowing teams the ability to retain a player's G League rights should they be waived.
Bittle, 23, spent all five of his NCAA seasons playing for his native Oregon Ducks. He averaged a career-best 16.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 blocks last year with the Ducks through 25 games.
The seven-foot, 250-pound centre also attempted 4.5 threes per game, converting at a 31.9 per cent clip.
Bittle, a former All-Big Ten selection and finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Centre of the Year award, is part of the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League squad that gets into action on Friday.
