A new crop of former Baylor Men’s basketball players have joined the NBA ranks, forward Johnathan Motley, guard Royce O’Neale and center Ekpe Udoh.
Motley, the 2016-17 Karl Malone award winner for best power forward in college basketball, signed a Two-Way contract with the Dallas Mavericks shortly after the NBA Draft.
Two-Way contracts, a new entity in the NBA this season, allow teams to sign two more players than usual, but they can only spend up to 45 days with the team. The rest of the time, Motley will be playing for the Mavericks G-League affiliate, the Texas Legends.
