NBA: Getting to know every team’s two-way contract players
Cleveland Cavaliers/Canton Charge
Dean Wade: A 6-foot-10 power forward who was undrafted out of Kansas State in 2019, Dean Wade, as a senior in college, averaged 13 points, six rebounds and three assists per contest. Wade had some moments at Summer League but seems like he will have to really stretch the floor to offset his limited athleticism.
Dallas Mavericks/Texas Legends
Antonius Cleveland: As a 6-foot-6 guard out of Southeast Missouri State, Cleveland went undrafted in 2017. He has played 17 games in the NBA (4 in Atlanta and 13 in Dallas) and averaged 1.4 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 0.1 assists. In 2018-19, for the Santa Cruz Warriors, he averaged 11 points, five rebounds, and two assists. As a college senior he averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists.
Josh Reaves: Reaves, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, averaged 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists during his senior year at Penn State, but went undrafted in 2019.
Denver Nuggets/no G League Affiliate
Tyler Cook: As a 6-foot-9 center who went undrafted out of Iowa in 2019, Tyer Cook averaged 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists per game.
Detroit Pistons/Grand Rapids Drive
Louis King: A 6-foot-9 forward who went undrafted out of Oregon in 2019, Louis King, as a freshman at Oregon, averaged 13.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. King looked the part of a 3-and-D wing at Oregon for limited stretches but never seemed to consistently put it all together.
Jordan Bone: A 6-foot-3 point guard who was drafted in the second round (27th) in 2019. As a junior at Tennessee, he averaged 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. Bone is a good athlete who is focused on making his teammates better. He will need to consistently knock down 3-point shots to have a chance to be anything more than a career back-up.
Golden State Warriors/Santa Cruz Warriors
Ky Bowman: A 6-foot-1 point guard who was undrafted out of Boston College in 2019. As a junior at Boston College, he averaged 19 points, 7.5 rebounds, and four assists. Per Sports Illustrated:
"Bowman is “a plus athlete and solid playmaker who excels in transition. He can be dangerous when he gets his jumper to fall. A former DI football recruit, Bowman is a strong, physical defender, although his size limits him a bit in terms of matchup versatility.”"
Damion Lee: A 6-foot-6 guard who went undrafted out of Louisville in 2016. He played 32 games for Golden State in 2018-19 and averaged 4.9 points, two rebounds, and less than one assist per game. In 2018-19, for the Santa Cruz Warriors, he averaged 20.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. As a senior at Louisville, he averaged 15.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.
