Men’s basketball alumnus Johnny Hamilton signed a one-year, partially-guaranteed deal with the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.

The 7-foot center from Rio Claro, Trinidad, announced the news via twitter. While Hamilton’s deal doesn’t secure him a spot on the Pistons’ 2018-19 roster, after training camp he’ll have a chance at joining their G-League team, the Grand Rapids Drive.
