Duane Washington Jr. wasn't selected in the 2021 NBA draft, but it didn't take him long to sign a contract after the draft.
Just moments after the draft ended early Friday morning, the former Ohio State guard agreed to a two-way contract with the Indiana Pacers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Washington was hoping to become the first Ohio State player to be selected in the NBA draft since Keita Bates-Diop in 2018, and the first Buckeye recruited by Chris Holtmann and his staff to get drafted, but instead, he'll have to try to earn his way onto the Pacers' roster as an undrafted free agent.
