JULY 12: Omoruyi has officially signed a two-way contract with the Wizards, the club announced today in a press release.
JULY 11: The Wizards have agreed to a two-way contract with forward Eugene Omoruyi, Josh Robbins of The Athletic tweets.
Omoruyi became a free agent when the Pistons waived him at the beginning of the month. He appeared in 17 games after initially signing a pair of 10-day deals with Detroit in early March. He averaged 9.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21.9 minutes per game.
Omoruyi was able to earn a contract that ran through 2023/24, but it contained no guaranteed money beyond last season.
He also appeared in 23 games with Oklahoma City last season and four games with Dallas the previous season.
The Wizards have now filled two of their three two-way slots, as our two-way tracker shows. Quenton Jackson holds one of the other two-way spots.
Who?
He’s been around for two years now. He played well last season. He’s trying to stay in the league
He played most of his college career for Rutgers before transferring to Oregon for his final season, then he’s been bouncing around the league for a few seasons. He’s talented, but then again so are the other 500+ players in the league, so it’s hard to break through.
A solid guard-forward who has bounced around in crowded rotations for a while. Good defender, especially closer to the rim, and he has potential as a 3nD guy if he can improve. He needs to work on his jumper more, but his FT% and his final year at college show he can improve. Not a bad outcome for an undrafted guy.
He’s not a guard
He was on your team, Cade.
Huh? I thought Pistons re-signed him.
They accepted his team option, but it was still non-guaranteed and they later waived him to free up cap space and a roster spot.
Ah makes sense, thank you!
