The Boston Celtics reportedly are signing forward Taylor Funk to an Exhibit 10 contract. Funk spent Summer League with the Miami Heat after going undrafted out of Utah State University.
Funk spent six seasons playing collegiately at St. Joseph’s University and Utah State. He started with St. Joseph’s in the Atlantic 10 Conference, playing five seasons with the team because he redshirted during his junior season.
He then transferred to Utah State and put up solid numbers in the 2022-23 campaign. The 25-year-old averaged 13.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 37.0 percent from beyond the arc.
During Summer League with Miami, Funk appeared in four games – three in Las Vegas and one in Sacramento, Calif. He played 14.6 minutes per game for the Heat and averaged 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.
He struggled a bit with his shot, going 26.3 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Boston seems to be taking a shot on Funk based on his body of work from his collegiate career to see if he can crack the team’s roster for the 2023-24 season.
