NBA team signs ex-HBCU star after NBA Draft
Steve Settle III, a former standout at HBCU Howard University, has signed a deal with the Miami Heat following the 2025 NBA Draft. It's reportedly an Exhibit-10 deal. The move marks a major step forward for Settle, who began his career at one of the most prominent HBCUs in the country and now has a chance to make his mark in the NBA. Settle's journey to the NBA began at Howard, where he redshirted his first season before emerging as one of the most versatile forwards in the MEAC. Over three seasons with the Bison, he developed into a consistent two-way contributor. In 2022–23, he helped lead Howard to both the MEAC regular season and tournament titles, averaging 11.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. His performance in the NCAA Tournament against Kansas - where he scored 13 points - showed he could compete on the national stage. After his success at the HBCU level, Settle transferred to Temple University for his final two seasons and elevated his game. During the 2024–25 campaign, he started all 31 games for the Owls, averaging 12.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and shooting an impressive 41.6 percent from beyond the arc. He recorded four double-doubles and finished the season with 12 straight games of at least 11 points, capping his career with a 22-point performance in the AAC Tournament. Settle's signing with the Miami Heat is a significant moment for HBCU basketball, as it continues to produce NBA-caliber talent. His progression from an HBCU program to one of the NBA's most respected franchises demonstrates the depth of skill found across all levels of college basketball. He joins a growing list of HBCU products making their way to the professional ranks, further reinforcing the talent pipeline that HBCUs provide to the NBA. With his length, shooting ability, and defensive versatility, Settle has the tools to carve out a role in the Heat's system. As training camp approaches, he'll aim to prove that his game - sharpened at Howard and Temple - belongs at the next level. His journey is not just a personal milestone but also another step forward for HBCUs on the NBA stage. The post NBA team signs ex-HBCU star after NBA Draft appeared first on HBCU Gameday.

Angel Reese reacts to Lakers signing her brother after 2025 NBA Draft
Sky forward Angel Reese was thrilled about her younger brother, Julian, inking a deal with the Lakers following the 2025 NBA Draft. 'OPPORTUNITY,' Reese wrote in an X post Friday. 'COME ON JU.' Julian Reese, whose four-year collegiate career with Maryland culminated in a Sweet 16 run during March Madness, will participate in the NBA Summer League games, which will give him the chance to earn either a two-way contract or an invite to training camp, according to a Maryland press release. 4 Julian Reese reacts during Maryland's March Madness game against Florida on March 27. NCAA Photos via Getty Images Reese's mother, Angel, also commented on the signing, sharing a graphic about the deal and writing, '#NBASummerLeague' in a post on X. Last season, Reese became just the second Terrapins player in program history to reach 1,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds, and he averaged 13.3 and 9.0 per game, respectively, for his senior season. 4 Angel Reese drives with the ball during the Sky's May 21 game. Imagn Images He opted to stay at Maryland all four years — through a coaching change that followed his freshman year, through the struggles that followed two years later — and made the NCAA Tournament once head coach Kevin Willard took over for the 2022-23 campaign. Follow The Post's coverage of the 2025 NBA Draft 'That was really the biggest thing, he wanted to get his degree from the University of Maryland because he's a Maryland kid,' Willard said in March, according to Sports Illustrated. 'So it meant that much. He wanted to get back to the NCAA tournament, and he felt that this was the best place to do it. And third, he was loyal. He's like, 'Ya know, I've been here, you've done right by me, I know you're going to continue to do right by me.' When you transfer, you never know what's going to happen. He knew that he had a home and that he had a guy who was going to take care of him.' 4 Angel Reese reacts during the Sky's June 24 game. Imagn Images He became a regular piece of Maryland's starting lineup during the 2022-23 campaign, and the Baltimore native helped spark wins over Grand Canyon and Colorado State to reach the Sweet 16 before falling to Florida, who went on to win the national championship. So now, the 6-foot-9 forward will join a group of Lakers signings following the draft that also includes Villanova's Eric Dixon, North Carolina's R.J. Davis and Saint Mary's Augustus Marčiulionis, according to Lake Show Life. 4 Julian Reese attempts a shot during Maryland's March Madness game against Florida on March 27. Getty Images Reese went to the same Saint Frances Academy for high school as his sister, who then went on to play for Maryland and LSU before becoming the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Angel Reese has averaged 11.3 points and 11.9 rebounds in her second season for the Sky, though Chicago has struggled again to start the year and opened with just a 4-11 record entering Sunday's game against the Sparks.
