The 2023 NBA Draft did not see any Carolina players selected, but graduate transfer Pete Nance became the second Tar Heel to sign with a team. After the Hornets signed Leaky Black on a two-way deal, the Cleveland Cavaliers signed Nance to an Exhibit 10 contract.
Nance will have an opportunity to impress, but he’ll have to do it quickly. He’ll play with Cleveland’s squad in the NBA 2K24 Summer League in Las Vegas, starting July 7th. If he does well, he’ll go to training camp and compete for a roster spot, or at least a two-way or G-League contract.
