His journey to the NBA has, in his own words, “been a lot of ups and downs” but the 6’3 point guard is poised and says he’s ready for a new opportunity, this time as a point guard for the Long Island Nets.
Hands was recently signed to a G League contract under the league’s relatively new Draft Rights provision which allows teams to assign a second draft pick directly to their G League affiliates while retaining their rights. The UCLA guard was drafted 56th by the Nets who used the Clippers second round pick to acquire him.
