Despite his 14.6 point average with a very decent 40% from 3-point range in Summer League, guard Daeqwon Plowden is forced to let go of his “two-way contract” a few days before the restart. Finally, the Warriors management prefers to reserve it for the Dutchman Quinten Post, their 52nd choice of the 2024 Draft. We remember that the Warriors had initially transferred their 52nd choice, before finally buying it back.
The center is coming out of Boston College, where he averaged 17.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists, and his elusive interior profile fits the Warriors' basketball perfectly, even if he knows he'll have to develop his off-ball game and shooting on the move.
” I feel like what I didn't really do in college was shoot on the move. I was more of a spot-up guy. Even at my size, I can shoot on the move, off screens. In the Warriors system, that's something I'm going to be able to showcase and improve on. “, he explained the day after the Draft.
For Daeqwon Plowden, all is not lost since The Athletic reports that the Warriors are still considering inviting him to their camp. The goal is to put him in competition with the two other holders of the “two-way contracts” that are Pat Spencer and Reece Beekman.
Two-way contract : Designed to create a new bridge between the NBA and the G-League, this type of contract allows each team to secure the services of two or three additional players, to have them play mainly in their affiliated development league franchise but also up to 50 matches in the NBA.
