Undrafted Winthrop guard
Cavaliers for Summer League play and will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the team, reports Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com (Twitter link).
Vaudrin – who grew up in Uniontown, Ohio – filled up the stat sheet with 12.0 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 6.9 APG in 25 games (31.6 MPG) as a senior at Winthrop in 2020/21. He spent his last two college seasons at Winthrop after playing for the Division II Walsh Cavaliers from 2016-18.
Vaudrin was the Big South Player of the Year in 2020/21.
While Vaudrin seems unlikely to make the Cavs’ regular season roster next season, it’s possible the team envisions him playing for its G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge. His Exhibit 10 contract would make him eligible to earn a bonus of up to $50K if he spends at least 60 days with the Charge.

After an illustrious nine-year stint as the head coach at Winthrop, Pat Kelsey accepted a well-deserved promotion last week. As the leader of the Winthrop program, Kelsey guided the Eagles to eight winning seasons in nine years. Kelsey compiled a 185-95 record and qualified for three NCAA tournaments in the process.
Last week, Kelsey accepted a new gig, and it is one that won’t even be taking him out of the Palmetto State. The College of Charleston pounced on Kelsey after Earl Grant left to become the head coach at Boston College. Grant leaves the program after an impressive seven-year run where he compiled a record of 127-89, including a trip to the NCAA tournament in 2018.
