In late July, the Brooklyn Nets decided to use one of their two-way contracts to sign a player many have not heard of. The Nets signed shooting guard Yakuba Ouattara with the new previously mentioned G-League two-way contracts.
These contracts allow teams to now hold up to 17 players on their rosters. This was definitely a signing many didn’t see coming to say the least.
It may be smart however, as GM Sean Marks most likely scouted him while overseas with coach Kenny Atkinson.
