From Underdog to Thunderbolt: Oakland’s Jack Gohlke Signs with NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder”.

Jack Gohlke, the standout player who led Oakland University to a stunning upset victory over No. 3 Kentucky during the NCAA basketball tournament, has signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder and is set to join their summer league team. Gohlke, who is 24 years old, made a name for himself during the tournament by scoring an impressive 32 points and hitting 10 three-pointers in the team’s 80-76 win.

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. Despite Oakland’s loss in the following round to NC State, Gohlke continued to shine by scoring 22 points and hitting six of seventeen 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.

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 where Gohlke will have a chance to showcase his skills and make an impression on the Thunder organization.
