New Orleans Pelicans Sign Clemson Guard Chase Hunter to Exhibit 10 Deal

Chase Hunter, a former Clemson basketball guard, has signed an Exhibit-10 contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, giving him a chance to compete in training camp and potentially secure a two-way contract. Hunter's impressive six-year collegiate career included ranking third all-time in scoring for Clemson, leading the team to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, and earning first-team All-ACC honors in his final season. He posted career-best shooting percentages and averaged 16.5 points per game last season, contributing significantly to Clemson's Elite Eight run in the 2023-24 NCAA Tournament. The Exhibit-10 contract allows the Pelicans to convert it into a two-way deal before the regular season and includes a potential bonus if Hunter spends time with the team's G League affiliate. Hunter's long tenure at Clemson saw him overcome injuries and achieve multiple school records, including minutes played, games played, and starts. His development from a lightly used freshman to a key contributor underscores his potential value to the Pelicans as they prepare for the NBA season.
