Yoeli Childs signing with Wizards, Jake Toolson inking Exhibit 10 contract with Jazz

Two former BYU stars have signed contracts with NBA teams.

Forward Yoeli Childs has inked a deal with the Washington Wizards while guard Jake Toolson signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Utah Jazz.

Childs, who participated in the NBA’s virtual combine, was hoping to be picked in last Wednesday’s NBA draft but went unselected.

No BYU basketball player has been drafted since Jimmer Fredette in 2011.

Childs, who returned to the Cougars twice during his career after declaring for the draft, finished as BYU’s all-time leading rebounder and No. 6 in scoring. He also became the only Cougar player in school history with at least 2,000 points (2,031) and 1,000 rebounds (1,053).
