Teams Expected To Pursue Two-Ways, Stashes Earlier In Draft Due To Pandemic

Oct 13, 2020 5:40 PM

Many NBA teams are expected to take austerity measures this season due to the anticipated drop in revenues with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

According to sources that spoke with Sam Vecenie of The Athletic, "teams will try to utilize two-way contracts and stashes earlier in this draft than in recent years."

Lu Dort and Terence Davis chose to go undrafted in order to choose their team to set themselves for a better payday sooner.

The 2020 class is not considered particularly impressive at the top of the draft, but it is seen as "relatively deep."
