All season, Texas Tech basketball fans have been following the development of former Red Raider Jarrett Culver in the NBA. Now, we may get to see two of his teammates from last season’s national runner-up squad in The Association as well.
Both Tariq Owens and Matt Mooney have been signed to two-way contracts by NBA teams, the Phoenix Suns and the Cleveland Cavilers respectively. To try to put it simply, the two-way contract allows a player to spend up to 45 days with an NBA team as sort of an audition period. This was designed to help keep more fringe NBA prospects in the United States where they can play in the NBA G-League, the farm system of the NBA.
