Looks like the Hawks game is also on ESPN3.
Vince got a 2 way contract, so he got $502k guaranteed for the year.This doesnt bode well for Vince making the big squad. They just signed to Kennedy Chandler to 4.94 guaranteed money. The largest ever for a 2nd round pick. This proves they are all in on him. Add in the two first rounders with at least 2 years guaranteed money, and Lofton playing lights out and Vince will really have to turn it up to make the roster.
As stated, with a few bigs hurt, Lofton may have played his way onto the big team. I hope Vince keeps grinding but he might be the odd man out. I wonder what his deal was? He was drafted 8 spots behind Chandler.
I really hope Vince got some guaranteed money and I also hope he signed to are than the minimum.
Grizzlies' Kennedy Chandler signs historic deal
Chandler was selected No. 38 overall in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Tennessee. The point guard averaged 13.9 points and 4.7 assists a game while shooting 38.3 percent from 3-point range.theathletic.com
most NBA teams don't release terms of two-way contracts - my cursory search of internet did not identify any specifics on Vince
FYI you are mixing old and current details. To a degree, the salary does not flex like it use to based on games played. I’ll explain the salary last. 50 games is the max a two player can play. Previously 45 days was all a player could spend with the team. Now, they can spend more and even practice with, travel with the team as a deactivated player, etc. This change allows a player more development time and the team more assessment time than previously. Two way players can not participate in the post season. Now for the salary. If signed the entire season, players receive 1/2 the rookie min(approximately 500k this year). Teams can only have two players on two contracts and players on two way contracts can be cut at anytime without additional compensation. If a player was on a two way contract and the team cut them at the half way point of the season, the would earn about 250k regardless if they played all G-league or some combination of both. How much Vince, who signed a 2 year two way contract will make depends on the duration of time he stays signed, not where he plays
thanks for the clarification - did not realize the prorating was changed from the early years
Not sure why someone would sign a two-year two-way deal. It seems the pay is capped and the player can be cut at anytime.
I think you sign it when the alternative is sitting at home not making anything.
Yeah it goes back to the discussion of the value of the 2nd round. It far and away benefits the team for a player to be drafted there.
Actually one has nothing to do with the other. Kenny Lofton who is the Grizz other Two Way Player was undrafted and there will be 2nd round picks that don’t get any contract.
I have been following the Grizz summer league news and the games. The media and coaches love to throw the 3 & D label onto Vince. To me that means play D and set up for a 3. If that is the label they have put on him they might want to reevaluate. Vince is better when he is moving and gets touches in the offense.
Between a 2nd round pick and a UDFA whom do you think has higher odds of a two way?
There are 60 two way contracts. As of today, 4 2nd round picks have signed two way contracts. 16 undrafted rookies have signed two way contracts so the Odds may favor a 2nd rounder because the pool is smaller but it seems way more undrafted players actually sign them
