On June 28, Beijing time, the NBA draft came to an end, and Chinese player Cui Yongxi was not selected. At 9:30 a.m., ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony reported that Choi Yong-hee signed an Exhibit10 contract with the Trail Blazers! Choi will play with the Trail Blazers in the NBA Summer League and participate in the Trail Blazers' preseason training camp after the summer league.

Choi Yong-hee's agency then confirmed the news, congratulations to Choi! The Las Vegas Summer League will kick off on July 12, and we are looking forward to Choi's summer league debut. What is an Exhibit 10 contract? Simply put, it's a one-year contract with an Exhibit 10 clause. Only the Exhibit 10 itself bonus is included, while there are no other bonuses.

Exhibit 10 contracts do not count towards the team salary cap; Teams can convert an Exhibit 10 contract to a two-way contract, but it must be completed before the start of the regular season; If the player is cut by an NBA team, he can join an affiliate of the team's Development League and receive a bonus of $5,000-$50,000 for 60 days.

Does signing an Exhibit 10 contract mean staying in the NBA? Of course not! In the 2022 offseason, Zeng signed with the Pacers for Exhibit 10 and returned to China after playing in the Summer League. In 2018, the Mavericks gave Ding Yanyuhang an Exhibit 10 contract, but he was unable to play in the Development League due to injury.

This offseason, Choi Yong-hee tried out in the United States while learning English in preparation for the NBA draft. In search of more opportunities, he signed Jeremy Lin's American agent, Roger Montgomery. Although Choi Yong-hee participated in the elite training camp of the Development League, he did not make it to the Chicago United tryout (5 out of 45).

Choi Young-hee tried out for six NBA teams: the Nets, Grizzlies, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Pacers and Knicks, and sadly, none of them were willing to draft him with a second-round pick. Choi Yong-hee responded to the defeat in an interview: "As long as there is a little possibility, I will stick to it here." Please rest assured about this. ”

In addition to the Trail Blazers, there are other NBA teams that want to sign Choi to an Exhibit-10 contract. In the end, he chose the Trailblazers, feeling that he could get more opportunities. Choi Yong-hee was born on May 28, 2003, with a bare foot height of 2 meters, an arm span of 2.06 meters, and a weight of 92kg. The vertical jump in place is 71.1cm, and the running vertical jump is 90.2cm. Pursuing your dreams is always worthy of admiration, come on, Cui!
