It really would have been nice if a bit more attention was paid to the third point guard spot. Especially given Reggie Jackson’s health concerns.
Langston Galloway was supposed to be the answer, but that plan quickly failed. Dwight Buycks was signed to a two-way deal, a contract new for the 2017-18 season that allowed teams to sign two additional players who would float between the G-League and NBA team.
Buycks was an unknown, spending the two previous seasons in the Chinese Basketball Association. He kept showing up to the Summer League and impressing, but it never resulted in a roster spot.
