Basketball Harper signs with Toronto Raptors

Since someone will ask:
When can a two-way contract play?

Players on two-way contracts are eligible to play in 50 of their team’s 82 games. When the contracts were initially introduced, players were limited to 45 days with the team, which included practice and travel days. The change to 50 games has greatly benefitted teams and players.

When not playing, two-way contracts can still practice with the team, travel with the team, and sit on the bench during games as an inactive member of the team. They can also spend time on the team’s G League affiliate.

It is mostly a G League contract, and the player can get cut at any time, receiving a salary only for games played.
 
This is actually better than getting drafted late in the draft
 
Congratulations to Ron and I hope he continues to work and will prove he deserves to be in the NBA.
 
Without rehashing, check out the draft thread…it really isn’t.
Either way, he’s going to have to ball out and earn it, he’s got all of RU rooting for him.
Late seconds aren’t even guaranteed two ways, instead have their rights controlled by one team so they do not even have the same freedoms as UDFAs. Check Marcus Zegarowski and Raiquan Gray, both locked to the nets yet their most preferred second round talents, Kessler Edwards and David Duke Jr, got two ways, despite David Duke not even being drafted

Great landing spot and i think it’s definitely better than getting drafted late. He/his team got to decide where they thought was best for him to develop. Raptors are known for developing out of the g league. They take a lot of pride in it.

would have been a great symbol for rutgers for him to be drafted but ultimately, him sticking in the league will be an even greater symbol. This gives him a better chance to do that than being drafted late second round by a random team

I was about to look it up. Thanks for posting
 
Congratulations, Ron! We'll all make the Raptors our second favorite team.

If you have free time, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario are pretty cool places to visit!

Toronto is a well run franchise and drafts/develops very well.

July 7th to the 17th is the Vegas Summer League, where every game is televised live. We will all get to see RHJ against other drafted rookies, free agents and 2nd or 3rd year players.

Great spot for RHJ!!
 
Got non-NBA fans, know that this is a great landing spot. The Raptors and the Raptors 905 do a great job developing talent and integrating with the main team. Last year they took Dalano Banton from Nebraska with little fanfare and he’s had some chance to play.

I know there are a bunch of CBB fans who absolutely hate or despise the NBA for a bunch of reasons. But so many concepts are lifted by college coaches from the NBA on a weekly or monthly basis, that it should translate for a lot of these CBB prospects.

And with 9 B1G drafted kids and RHJ all on display in the summer league, I wouldn't be shocked to see a NBA summer League thread.

The draft status in the mid to latee 2nd round or free agent is still a 2 way contract either way. The status of the NBA Draft is not like the NFL at all.

Even though the CBB season ends in late March or early April, the end of the season just happened last week for the NBA......to go from the NBA playoffs to an immediate training ground of Summer League games is huge exposure.

There are NBA fans who do not watch any CBB whatsoever, outside of the NCAA tournament. Whatever performances are put up in the summer league can launch a career much more than 2 to 3 years of CBB performances.

Other than two way contracts, G League contracts are held by the league. If you are a G League player not on a two way, you are essentially a free agent. NBA teams are free to sign you regardless of which team you play for. Happens all the time, especially as injury replacements.
