Chinanu Onuaku is a Dallas Maverick.
The former Louisville stand-out, turned second round pick is headed to the Mavs in a trade with the Houston Rockets that covers the remainder of Onuaku’s $1.5 million contract in exchange for a second round pick in 2020.
This, according to a tweet from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (WOJ BOMB!).
Onuaku never panned out as a prospect with the Rockets. He was often promising at the G-League and Summer League levels. In nearly two full seasons with the Rio Grand Valley Vipers he averaged close to a double-double. Last season he started 39 out of 40 games at the G League Level where he averaged 10.
