Free agent power forward RaiQuan Gray has signed a two-way contract with the Nets, the team announced in a press statement.
The Nets previously drafted Gray with the No. 59 pick out of Florida State in 2021. Ever since, the 6’8″ big man has been playing for the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn’s NBAGL affiliate.
Across 18 regular season games with Long Island this season, all starts, Gray averaged 15.4 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 2.6 APG, 1.6 SPG and 0.6 BPG. He boasted shooting splits of .578/.382/.629 in those contests.
The Nets had an open two-way roster spot after elevating David Duke to their standard roster on Friday, so no correlating move needs to be executed to accommodate Gray. He will join incumbent two-way player Dru Smith, a 6’3″ shooting guard who has appeared in 14 games with Brooklyn proper this season.
Gray could theoretically be promoted to the playoff-bound Nets’ standard roster until the last day of the 2022/23 regular season, which is tomorrow, but Brooklyn would need to cut a current player to make room for his addition.
Raiquan has good potential as a stretch 5/scoring big
Agreed. I’m not sure if this affects his “stash” status since I don’t believe two-way players count against the main roster salary cap. There may be a cap hold since they will have the right to offer him a two-way QO.
No not at 6’8. Maybe PF
