Report: Washington State’s Robert Franks agrees to two-way deal with Charlotte Hornets

Robert Franks’ basketball career will continue in the professional ranks despite the ex-Washington State forward going unselected Thursday night at the 2019 NBA Draft.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets have offered Franks a Two-Way Contract, which places him on the organization’s G League team, the Greensboro Swarm, but also gives him up to 45 days with the NBA club should the Hornets choose to call him up at any point during the season.

The NBA’s Two-Way Contracts, reserved for players in their fourth pro season or earlier, were introduced in 2017 and compensate players a daily amount corresponding to the amount of time they spend with both teams.
