The Toronto Raptors took a flier on a high-profile undrafted free agent early Friday morning, signing Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell to a two-way contract, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Nowell, 23, had a breakout performance in this last season’s NCAA tournament, leading Kansas State to the Elite 8 while averaging 23.5 points per game during his four tournament games. He hit a variety of important shots for Kansas State throughout the tournament and also set a NCAA tournament record with 19 assists in Kansas State's overtime victory over Michigan State in the Sweet 16.
