Canadian guard Nate Darling went undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft but just over an hour after the 60th and final pick was called by NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum, he has reportedly signed with an NBA franchise. 

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, he is set to sign a two-way contract with the Charlotte Hornets. 

Standing at 6-foot-5 weighing 200 lbs., Darling is a 3-point shooter. He knocked down 3.1 3-pointers per game at a 40.8 percent clip over the course of his four-year collegiate career at UAB (2016-18) and Delaware (2019-20).

With the third overall pick, LaMelo Ball headlines the Hornets additions in the 2020 Draft. The other two are Duke centre Vernon Carey Jr. (Round 2, Pick 32) and College of Charleston guard Grant Riller (Round 2, Pick 56).
