Atlanta is giving Keaton Wallace a nice promotion

Keaton Wallace

We also see more clarity on Atlanta’s side from Saturday in terms of the hierarchy of the final rotations at the back and pivot positions. If the best move of the “training camp” so far was attributed to the Malian staff Happy Dante (2m11), whose contract is guaranteed at the beginning of the month, Keaton Wallace he also inherited a nice promotion.

His “two-way contract” was turned into a guaranteed contractat $2.3 million per season. Remember the minimum salary for a “two-way contract” is $85,000…

The 26-year-old point guard, well-known in Atlanta (34 G League games over the last two years, 31 in the NBA last season, averaging 5.4 points and 2.6 assists per 16 minutes) has been quite productive in his four preseason games (5.5 points, 5 assists per 16 minutes average) and so he has been freed up front on average.two-way contract” to be full-time with the first team.

In a fight with Lamont Butler, finally cut down, Caleb Houston will replace Keaton Wallace among the three “two-way contracts”. Coming from Orlando where he was drafted in 2022, the shooting guard was invited to the training camp of the Hawks.

As for the 5 position, Atlanta therefore preferred N’Fali Dante, at the expense of Charles Bassey, the last player cut yesterday, to round out the rotation behind Kristaps Porzingis and Onyeka Okongwu.

Atlanta currently has 14 guaranteed contracts and will therefore be able to afford another signing if needed.

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 play them mostly in their affiliate development league franchise, but also for up to 50 games in the NBA.
