Ranking the Exhibit 10 players by level of intrigue

The Sixers are bringing in four players on Exhibit 10 contracts: Dillon Jones, Saint Thomas, Jameer Nelson, Jr. and, easily the most recognizable of all, Tacko Fall.

As a refresher, an Exhibit 10 contract is essentially a camp invite where the signee is financially incentivized by the signing team to join its G League affiliate. It’s not the norm for a player to parlay this type of contract into a roster spot, but it’s far from impossible.

Let’s break down all four players and rank them as far as intrigue to earn a spot with the Sixers.

Saint Thomas

Thomas is a Swiss Army knife wing with great size at 6-foot-7 and 235 pounds. He finished his college career at USC after two seasons at Loyola and one at Northern Colorado. He spent last season with the Delaware Blue Coats after going undrafted in 2025. He was also with the Sixers in the Vegas summer league.

There’s nothing that really jumps out about Thomas’ raw numbers. He stuffs the stat sheet, posting above-average rebounding and assist numbers for a big wing. Like most big wings, shooting is the swing skill. He shot 33.1% from deep in 36 G League games last season.

Barring a serious shooting improvement that he flashes at camp, Thomas is the most likely of this bunch to spend the year in Delaware. He’s interesting enough that it makes sense to keep him in the pipeline.

Jameer Nelson, Jr.

Like his dad, Jameer Nelson, Jr. is trying to make it in the NBA as an undersized guard. After two years each at George Washington and Delaware, Nelson finished his collegiate career at TCU. He’s spent the last two seasons playing in the G League and leagues in Canada, Puerto Rico and China.

The odds are against him at 6-foot-1, but the younger Nelson has clear skills, including the ability to create his own shot. He led the CAA in scoring his final year with the Blue Hens and was second on the Horned Frogs in his lone season there. He’s also displayed quick hands, notching over two steals a game throughout his NCAA career.

The chances of Nelson cracking the Sixers’ roster feel low, especially when you factor in depth at guard. But like Thomas,…
