2023 NBA Draft: No. 3 undrafted free agent Tosan Evbuomwan, Pistons

Tosan Evbuomwan parlayed a strong performance at the G-League Elite camp into a combine invite, where he also did well in scrimmages. It ultimately wasn’t enough to get the Princeton big drafted, however, and he signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Pistons shortly after the telecast ended.

Evbuomwan occupied an extremely unique role at Princeton. At 6-foot-8, he was always the biggest player on the floor. He was also a primary playmaking hub, frequently facing up from the elbow, running DHOs, or slipping down the lane for finishes at the rim. He averaged 4.9 assists per game.

Princeton made noise in the NCAA tournament in large part because of Evboumwan’s performance in the five spot. He projects as more of a power forward in the NBA, but he’s built strong and he’s athletic enough to guard a few different positions depending on the matchup.

The Pistons have a lot of frontcourt depth standing between Evbuomwan and a roster spot, not to mention playing time, but his brilliant passing acumen at his size is a rare gift. He has some scoring pop as a driver too and the Pistons are wise to latch onto him for an extended look in training camp.
