Miami has signed Derrick Walton Jr. to a two-way deal, according to the team’s website. The contract will be the first two-way deal in franchise history, as our updated 2017/18 NBA Two-Way Contract Tracker indicates.
Players on two-way deals will spend most of their season in the G-League since they cannot spend more than 45 days with an NBA club, as our glossary page on two-way contracts shows.
Walton Jr. spent four seasons at the University of Michigan, where he scored 11.6 points per game. As a senior, he scored 15.5 points per game while adding 4.9 assists and 4.8 rebounds per contest.
as a u of m fan I’m glad to see Walton get his chance but unfortunately am not sure his game will translate well to the show.
best of luck to him though
I liked how he competed in Orlando. He stood out. Was surprised Orlando didn’t sign him. I like this 2 way deal for us. Matt Williams can really shoot it too
