Raptors land Fred VanVleet clone as UDFA with two-way contract

The Toronto Raptors made one of the splashier picks in the 2023 NBA Draft lottery, using the No. 13 overall pick on one of the best shooters in this class in Kansas wing Gradey Dick. While they didn’t have a second-round selection, Toronto managed to make one more addition in the form of Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell.

Almost as soon as the draft ended, the Raptors became the first team to sign an undrafted player, bringing in Nowell on a two-way contract. Nowell joins the likes of Justin Champagnie and Ron Harper Jr.
