Since the deal is an Exhibit 10, Mintz will likely be waived before the season.

That said, he could be an excellent candidate to sign a two-way (or ten-day) contract with the 76ers.

Via @KJ__Hoops: "Judah Mintz had a really good Summer League for the Sixers. He finished averaging

10 PPG
2 APG
1 SPG
62% TS
19 MPG

Judah showcased his shot making ability, and played really good defense as well.

Mintz also averaged 15 PPG on a 73% TS in his last 4 games."
