More CanCon is on its way to the Toronto Raptors.

After going undrafted in Thursday's NBA Draft, Nova Scotia native Lindell Wiggington will get a shot with his home country's team.

According to HoopsHype's Alex Kennedy, Wigginton will sign a summer league deal with the defending NBA Champion Raptors joining Chris Boucher as the only two Canadians on the roster.


Wiggington played in 25 games this season for Iowa State averaging 13.5 points, 4.0 rebounds shooting 39% from three. He became the Cyclones' sixth man and one of the team's closers late in the season. His play earned him the Big12 Sixth Man of the Year award and he was also named to the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team.
