NBA: Getting to know every team’s two-way contract players
Oklahoma City Thunder/OKC Blue
Luguentz Dort: In somewhat surprising fashion, Luguentz Dort went undrafted after one season at Arizona State in 2019. During his lone season at ASU, Dort averaged 16 points and four rebounds per game. If Dort can become less streaky of a shooter he could be a steal for Oklahoma City.
Orlando Magic/Lakeland Magic
Josh Magette: Josh Magette is an undrafted prospect out of Alabama-Huntsville. He’s probably the oldest player on this list, at 29. He’s played in 18 NBA games throughout his career.
Amile Jefferson: Amile Jefferson is another name that should sound familiar if you’re a college basketball junkie. Jefferson is a 6-foot-9 power forward who went undrafted out of Duke in 2017. He has played in 12 NBA games thus far.
Philadelphia 76ers/Delaware Blue Coats
Norvel Pelle: Pelle is another older name on this list, as he went undrafted in 2014. Last season in the G League, Pelle averaged 11 points and nine rebounds for the Delaware Blue Coats.
Marial Shayok: Marial Shayok showed up at Summer League and did the same thing he did at Iowa State this past season: get buckets. He’s long, a solid athlete and can make jump shots. While he may not have the highest upside, he can definitely fill a role for the 76ers this year. Shayok is a 6-foot-6 forward that was a second-round pick out of Iowa State in 2019.
Phoenix Suns/Northern Arizona Suns
Jared Harper: Jared Harper is another SEC guard who seemingly would have garnered much more draft interest had he been a few more inches taller. The 5-foot-11 point guard went undrafted in 2019 after playing his college ball at Auburn.
Portland Trail Blazers/no G League Affiliate
Jaylen Hoard: Jaylen Hoard certain looks the part of an eventual 3-and-D wing but was somewhat disappointing on a bad Wake Forest team this year. He also had moments at Summer League but seems like he is still a long way away from being able to contribute at the NBA level. The 6-foot-8 forward, who went undrafted out of Wake Forest in 2019, averaged 13 points and seven rebounds as a freshman at Wake Forest.
