First he helped secure Villanova’s first National Championship in over 30 years, and the second in the school’s history and now Ryan Arcidiacono will be taking his talents to San Antonio next season.
Arcidiacono signed a two-year deal with the Spurs Thursday, according to reports on Friday.
The contract is said to be the neighborhood of $75,000, a common figure for players looking to work their way onto the roster via summer league or developmental league performance.
There are reported roster bonuses built in that will have Arch seeing more money as long as he stays on his current level of performance.
