Congrats guys!

For the second straight year, a former East Carolina men's basketball standout has signed an NBA contract.

Giovanni Emejuru has inked an Exhibit-10 contract with the Denver Nuggets, according to a report from DraftExpress. Emejuru went undrafted in this year's cycle, but had NBA workouts with the Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans, and Sacramento Kings, before signing with Denver.

An Exhibit-10 deal is a one-year non-guaranteed, league-minimum deal that guarantees a training camp invite. NBA franchises are permitted to carry a maximum of six Exhibit 10 contracts at one time during the offseason. Teams have the right to convert their contracts to a two-way deal, or waive the player and add them to their G-League roster, which guarantees the contract's bonus policy.

Make it two undrafted NBA free agent contracts for East Carolina's basketball team this offseason. Jordan Riley, the team's leading scorer from this past season, has signed a post-draft deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, multiple reports say.

Riley was one of the top scorers in Division I NCAA basketball in 2025-26, averaging 23.6 points per game. 

He joins Giovanni Emejuru (Denver Nuggets) as former Pirates who have signed following the draft. Emejuru got an Exhibit-10 contract with Denver. The exact particulars of Riley's deal with the Pelicans have yet to be announced.
