The Brooklyn Nets added undrafted free agents Dion Brown and Ben Humrichous on Exhibit-10 contracts after the 2026 NBA Draft. Both players are 23 years old, though Humrichous turns 24 on July 28. The deals are one-year, non-guaranteed contracts at the league minimum. They primarily serve to invite the rookies to training camp and encourage them to play for the Long Island Nets in the G League.

An Exhibit-10 contract pays the minimum salary for a full season, but that guarantee vanishes if the player does not remain with the G League affiliate. Brown posted 11.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game in the 2025-26 season while shooting 61.6 percent from the field and 40 percent from three. His sophomore year at UMBC delivered even stronger production: 19 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals on better than 50 percent shooting from the field.

Humrichous posted identical 2025-26 per-game numbers to Brown, reflecting comparable efficiency at the high-major level. Both bring extensive college experience that could help them compete for roster spots. Brown transferred twice during his four-year career, beginning at UMBC before moving on to Saint Louis. That journey produced a versatile guard capable of scoring, stretching the floor and defending multiple positions.

Humrichous, a forward from Illinois, supplies a reliable rebounding presence and the ability to space the floor. Their shared profile fits the Nets' approach to roster building through low-risk additions who have already proven themselves against strong competition. With three rookies already selected in the 2026 draft, these signings increase Brooklyn's influx of young talent without committing significant cap space.

Both Brown and Humrichous are expected to compete for the Nets in NBA Summer League, where their ability to translate college production into the faster, more physical professional game will face its first real test. Only one player currently sits on a two-way contract for Brooklyn: Tyler Bilodeau, the 43rd overall pick in the 2026 draft. Impressive summer performances could earn Brown or Humrichous similar two-way deals, allowing them to split time between the Nets and Long Island while remaining eligible for call-ups.

The strategy mirrors a leaguewide trend of using Exhibit-10 contracts to stock G League rosters with developmental prospects. For the Nets, it preserves flexibility ahead of training camp in late September and final roster decisions before the regular season begins in late October. Brown and Humrichous now have a clear path to earn bigger opportunities if they produce in the coming weeks.
