The Miami Heat signed forward, Paul Eboua, to an exhibit 10 contract. This means that he will be able to compete for a two-way spot and at least be on the Heat’s G-League affiliate for 60 days.
The Miami Heat brought in Cameroonian forward Paul Eboua, who’s represented by Goran Dragic’s agent in Rade Filipovich, to sign him to an Exhibit 10 contract. Under this deal, Eboua will have a chance to compete for a two-way spot in training camp, while he will revert to their G-League affiliate if he doesn’t earn the two-way deal.
The Miami Heat were a top choice for Eboua based on what his agent had to say. Here is a blurb of it all from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald by his agent.
Here’s why they chose Miami.
"“We targeted Miami because we like the Heat’s success developing players,” Filipovich said. “They have an unbelievable development program, great coaches with Erik Spoelstra [and his assistants], a great shooting coach with Rob Fodor.”"
On top of that glowing review of the Miami Heat’s system from his agent, Eboua was ranked as the 63rd best prospect by ESPN and as the 11th best power forward available at the draft. Here is what their very own Mike Schmitz had to say of Eboua during the process.
"After watching Cameroonian-Italian forward Paul Eboua work out in Santa Barbara, it’s safe to say he is among the draft’s most physically impressive prospects. Standing 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and a shredded frame, Eboua has all the tools teams look for in a forward prospect, though his game is still very much evolving. Eboua, who played 18 games in the Italian 1st Division last season, is progressing as a perimeter shooter in 1-on-0 situations. The 20-year-old decided to keep his name in the 2020 draft with an eye on finding a situation where he can develop, most likely by playing consistent minutes in the G League."
He’s not a bad guy to have on your radar or in your developmental program if you are the Miami Heat. His physical tools are obvious, but here’s what we think about the guy.
