What can he do to carve out a niche? Tats maybe? I think with his athleticism he would have a shot of being a savage rebounder. That takes real desire, though, and I'm not sure he has that above anyone else in the league. Drew's biggest drawback on rebounding is his positioning. I put that squarely on his late start in basketball. I don't know if he's ever going to be a monster rebounder unless he sticks in the league for several years... he's still learning so he's got a shot. If he had Kone's sense of positioning he'd be a great rebounder already. Too bad Kone had that knee injury. If he had Drew's knees/legs and athleticism he'd have been a monster for us.

Drew was not consistently good at rebound positioning because on offense he was too busy trying to post himself up (and boxing himself out) and on defense he was usually hawking the ball to set up for the monster block. Unless you are just much taller and longer than anybody else on the court you have to be single minded to rebound. Drew was pretty distracted out there.

Googled his salary....2 way contract paying him 77K. so what Lamarcus Aldridge makes in 2 or 3 games more less. That's..... a disparity.

Players on two way contracts can spend up to 45 days in NBA and for that time they make a prorated NBA rookie minimum ($816k according to 2017 article that I read). So if a player spends a total of 45 days in NBA during the year, the prorated number would be about $200k. Combine that with the money he'd earn in G-League and max a player on a two-way contract can earn is about $280k. A player on a two-way contract is not guaranteed time in NBA, but Drew already has 6 days in NBA, so he's set to make more than $100k as of now and that number will increase each additional day he's in the NBA.

I'm hoping Drew gets some action, but he probably has a ways to go.
In the Spurs' game last night, a 143-142 OT win over the lakers, he didn't get in the game. In fact, no backup PF got in the game. Paul Gasol, backup C, got in for 18 minutes and Bertans, a backup SF, saw the floor for 8 minutes. Aldridge played 40 minutes and the Spurs' main subs came from their backup PG and SG.
Still, it's pretty excellent that Drew is in the league right now...how many were predicting that?

The 2-way contracts are also pro-rated... the $77k is for a full season/days of service, prorated for each day missed in the G-league... limited to 45 days (NOT games). The prorated salaries are based on days not games on the NBA roster... get 1/170th of the rookie minimum per day. If they spend more than 45 days on a two-way in the NBA they must be "CUT" or given a regular contract and one of the 15 roster spots.

Drew would be a G-leaguer or in Europe (which pays more). A two-way contract on the roster early in the season is not great news. It basically means the Spurs are waiting out an injury(s) or personnel moves. With (6) PF on the current roster Drew is getting a taste, but his 45 days could be used up before the season even becomes meaningful. But, to your point, Drew is exactly where most expected... undrafted... G-League or Europe.

That takes real desire, though, and I'm not sure he has that above anyone else in the league. I kept waiting for him to be a savage rebounder against Lamar and Prairie View and UTSA but it never happened so I don't feel like it will start happening against the Lakers or Rockets. Oh well. But for now, he's in the NBA and that's pretty cool.

I'll admit ignorance to the process of interchange between the NBA and G League, but I will also say that I didn't think that we would see Eubanks in the NBA at all this year.

Injuries/long season and how each franchise uses the two-way contracts vary. The Blazers have no one listed on a two-way. I personally would have chosen to stay here, G League/2-way contract if possible versus going overseas. So people bitching about everything these days, but have them chose another country they'd pick to live in right now!!

Just noodling.... Looks like Drew got into the Spurs game last night. 6 minutes, 4 points, a rebound. I will admit that I expected him to get 0 minutes in the NBA this year (or likely ever) so he has really exceeded by expectations. WAY TO GO DREW! It looks like he has played in a total of 3 nba games so far. I can't find any info on when they have officially shuttled him to and from his G-League team (in Austin). If he practices with the spurs does that count towards the 45 day thing? Anyway he has also played (and started) 6 games for his G-League team, putting up decent numbers (28 minutes, 20 pts, 6 rebound, 1.5 assists, 3 blocks a game). At this point I think it is pretty undeniable that he made a good decision. In Terms of Europe vs. G-League... I am not so sure he would be paid more in Europe... The TOP players make more than 200k a year of course, but a rookie with out huge acclaim? The minimum salaries aren't as obvious, but if he had made the top overseas league (big IF) The EuroLeague, it seems like 65-100k is the average starting salary for a rookie. And of course developing under a specific NBA team gives that team familiarity and buy in with you and has a lot of value too... Long story short, Looks like Drew is having a good, productive, learning rookie season, and I am happy for him! And I am also happy that Kylor Kelley seems to be filling Drews shoes way better than I expected! Go Drew, Go Kylor, Go BEAVS!

Drew has only played in 4 games for San Antonio this season, but in one of them he played 22 minutes, scored 9 points (on 4 of 6 shooting), and collected 8 rebounds. It was in a 132-98 loss, so I'm guessing many of those minutes probably came when game was out of hand but still decent numbers. Set career highs in minutes played, field goals made, and rebounds and tied his career high in points.
