NBA Draft - Shead

Like the NBA wouldn’t be aware of that and just make him redo it.

Just heard Shead got a GUARANTEED deal! He was right on the fringe on getting only a two-way but this is much better. Reported by Kelly Iko of the Athletic

Sweet, trading up to get him and guaranteed contract gives me faith in Toronto as a good spot for him.

Heard that this is the first time since 1977 that the highest drafted American born player was white. The more you know. Lol

I don’t understand this. Other teams can offer him a two-way even though he was drafted by Toronto? Or did he turn down two-way offers from Toronto until they have him a guaranteed contract?

I assume the latter

Raptors are a great fit for Shead right now. In my biased opinion, he walks into the facility and is the backup point guard at minimum. If that’s not his role, I can still envision a clear path for him to log significant minutes.

Players in the 2nd rd have conversations with the teams interested in them on what the contract and role with the team will be. So maybe the Rockets wanted to draft him in the 2nd Rd but wanted him to sign a two way contract. Shead probably had his agent tell teams he wasn’t signing a two way.

I think starting out, he’ll be 3rd string, Quickly, Davion Mitchell and then Shead will be PG depth, but so happy he got the guaranteed contract.
