Former Marquette men’s basketball forward Justin Lewis was not selected in the 2022 NBA Draft Thursday night, but is now signing a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls as an undrafted free agent.
Lewis was projected as a late first round to mid second round draft pick heading into Thursday night. However, uncertainty about his playmaking ability along with establishing a more consistent defensive focus and discipline caused his projection to drop over the course of the night.
The two-way contract allows him to be sent between the NBA and the G League. It also means that Lewis will be paid an NBA salary while on the Bulls roster but a smaller G League salary when playing in the G League with the Bulls affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.
