The second round of Draft unveiled, the franchises hasten to draw from the unrealized players to offer them “Two-way contract” or invitations to Summer League and/or next training camp. Starting with the Lakers who signed four players.
First of all there is Eric Dixona winger who comes out of Villanova. Best NCAA scorer Last season with 23.3 points on average, he won a “Twoway Contract”, and this high 24-year-old attacker will be forced, in the NBA, to play 4/5 despite his small size (2m03). The fault of his lack of mobility, unacceptable when he will have to defend on wingers.
Then there is RJ Davisthe leader of North Carolina. With 175 matches on the clock, he is one of the “veterans” of university basketball, and his “exhibit 10” type contract allows him to compete in the Summer Leagues, and to fight for a place in the workforce at Training Camp.
Same spell for Arthur Kalumaa wingman out of Texas. Big star in high school, we should find him with Bronny James at South Bay Lakers, the G-League team.
About “son to dad”, the Lakers have guest Augustas Marionisplaymaker of Saint Mary's, who is none other than the son of Sarunas Marciulionis. Trained in Lithuania, he completed his university course with a season at 14.2 points and 5.9 assists per game.
Two-way Contract : Designed to create a new bridge between the NBA and the G-League, this type of contract allows each team to attach the services of two or three additional players, to develop them mainly in their affiliated development league franchise but also up to 50 NBA matches
