Another former Texas Tech Red Raider is getting his shot in the NBA.
Donovan Atwell has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Chicago Bulls, Texas Tech announced on Friday. He will join them for the NBA Summer League, which will take place from July 9-19.
The guard made his mark in his one season with the Red Raiders, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and All-Big 12 Newcomer Team honors after averaging 13.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. His 130 3-pointers set a new program record, and his 81 3-pointers in conference play are the most in Big 12 history.
He was the only Red Raider to start all 34 games and shot 46.3% from the floor and 45.8% from deep. He scored 20 or more points in five games, including a season-high 26 against Kansas State. He finished in double figures in 25 of their 34 games and ended the season on a strong note.
Atwell averaged 13.5 points in their two NCAA Tournament games, going 6-11 from 3-point range. An Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year deal for undrafted rookies and includes an invitation to Summer League and training camp.
