The Toronto Raptors have reached an Exhibit 10 agreement with undrafted center Nate Bittle, according to Dushawn London of 247Sports.
Bittle, 7’0”, spent five seasons at the University of Oregon, moving into the starting lineup for almost every game over his last four years after a reserve role as a freshman. In the most recent campaign, he averaged 16.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists, while attempting 4.5 three-pointers per contest and connecting on 31.9%. He earned Big Ten All-Defense honors in the 2024/25 season.
ESPN draft analyst Jeremy Woo ranked the Oregon native No. 55 on his final 2026 big board. Scouts praise Bittle’s size and feel for the game, though concerns remain about his lateral quickness on defense.
The Exhibit 10 deal allows Toronto to convert Bittle to a two-way contract or, if he is waived before opening night, to steer him toward Raptors 905. Should he log at least 60 days with the club’s G League affiliate, he would be eligible for a bonus of up to $91,000.
