Former IU guard Nick Zeisloft has signed with the Indiana Pacers, the NBA franchise officially announced Thursday. Terms of Zeisloft's contract were not disclosed per the Pacers' team policy, but according to Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports, the deal is for one year at the rookie minimum-level with $25,000 guaranteed.

Zeisloft, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound guard, is the third member of the 2015-16 Hoosiers to ink an NBA contract and land in an NBA training camp this fall. Former IU standouts Yogi Ferrell and Troy Williams signed with the Brooklyn Nets and Memphis Grizzlies, respectively, in August. Overall, Zeisloft is one of six former IU players who will be in an NBA training camp, joining Ferrell, Williams, Eric Gordon (Houston), Victor Oladipo (Oklahoma City) and Cody Zeller (Charlotte).

With Zeisloft signed, the Pacers now have 19 players under contract. According to Agness, NBA teams can have a maximum of 20 entering training camp, which begins on Sept. 27. Those rosters then must be narrowed to 15 by Oct. 26, the start of the NBA regular season.

Zeisloft averaged 6.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per game during his final season as a Hoosier. Known for being a reliable perimeter threat, Zeisloft also shot 41.7 percent from 3-point range during his redshirt senior season.

An Illinois State graduate transfer who joined the program in 2014, Zeisloft averaged 6.6 points and 1.9 rebounds while shooting shooting 43.2 percent from beyond the arc in his two seasons at Indiana.
