Two-way contracts are one of the most underrated tools for filling out an NBA roster. When teams identify players who can truly contribute at the NBA level, they gain a real rotational option without sacrificing a standard roster spot. The New Orleans Pelicans front office has already had its share of poor decisions early in the Joe Dumars era, but one thing Dumars and Troy Weaver did well was sign Bryce McGowens to a two-way deal.
This signing was one I was a fan of from the jump, as, to me, McGowens has always had the tools to be a solid rotational piece at the NBA level.
