Oakland University announced that Jack Gohlke, a standout player during the NCAA basketball tournament, has signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder and will join their summer league team. Gohlke, who is 24 years old, gained fame during the tournament by leading the No. 14 seed Golden Grizzlies to an upset victory over No. 3 Kentucky. He scored an impressive 32 points, including 10 three-pointers, in the team’s 80-76 win.
Despite Oakland’s loss in the following round to NC State, Gohlke continued to shine by scoring 22 points and hitting 6 of 17 three-point attempts. Throughout his final season with the Golden Grizzlies, he averaged 13.1 points per game and shot 38% from beyond the arc. Prior to his time at Oakland, Gohlke spent four seasons at Hillsdale College where he averaged 14.2 points and maintained a 40% three-point shooting percentage.
The Thunder signed Gohlke to an Exhibit 10 contract, which serves as a tryout deal for the NBA’s minimum salary. This one-year agreement is non-guaranteed but can potentially be converted into a two-way contract, granting the player opportunities to play for both an NBA team and its G League affiliate club. The NBA summer league is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas from July 12th to 22nd.
