SEPTEMBER 25TH, 3:35pm: Boatright appears on the team’s official training camp roster, which serves as confirmation from the Nets that Boatright has been signed.
JULY 3RD, 6:50pm: The Nets have reached a contract agreement with Ryan Boatright, Eric Pincus of Basketball Insiders reports (on Twitter). The pact is for two years, $1.4MM, with $75k guaranteed, Pincus adds. Boatright will earn $525,093 next season and $874,636 for the 2016/17 campaign. Minimum-salary deals for two years or less, such as this one, are some of the few allowed to become official during the July Moratorium.
Boatright went undrafted after four seasons at the University of Connecticut. His career NCAA numbers are 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, with a slash line of .416/.380/.794. The 6’0″ guard will add depth behind Deron Williams if he makes the regular season roster.The 22-year-old considered turning pro after UConn won the title back in 2014, as he told Hoops Rumors’ Zach Links prior to the 2015 NBA Draft. “Yes, I was going to go pro right after we won,” said Boatright. “I knew my name was hot and I had a great tournament. However, after I spoke with everyone whose opinion I trusted, I felt like one more year would be good for me. The last day before the deadline, I decided to go back to school to show everyone that I could run the team and be a true point guard.“
hoping the Maine Red Claws got him
I don’t think he was eligible for the Dleague draft, UCONN alread hit their quota of players in the league!
It only cost around 6 million dollars to make a D-league team. I’m sure Uconn has the funds to start there own team. Sorry for the bad username dyson_fan_1-10046 was taken.
Funny that the username is taken yet he wasn’t choosen. He must be very popular in the d league scene
Dallas should trade NoWinSki and sign Aldridge!
Well, I liked the Shane Larkin move for them. Boatright likely went undrafted after Napier had that difficult time adjusting to the NBA last year. He’ll be in the D-league
Now a title team with this HUGE MOVE. Is Brookyln in the house?
Red Claws are pretty stacked, He wouldn’t be in the rotation. Nets suck so he may play there!
I thought the Connecticut Sun we’re going to draft him!
My local middle school could use a sixth man
It’s like they’re the d league to the d league.
At least he got some gaurnteed money
Only Partial guaranteed so they can cut him and look at other available point guards like aj price or Marcus Williams
He can be a combo gaurd, cheddar and pretzel flavor!
That’s the official snack of the d-league
The official snack of the d league
Goes great with diet mountain dew the official drink of the red claws. We could run a pretty mediocre pick and roll though
@ Dallas2016-I bet you hope Dallas gets KD as a free agent, you sound like a closet Texas fan!
Some of us play above the rim!
It’s 4:20 somewhere!
If all you loser’s add all the money you will make this year it wouldn’t add up to boat’s firtst year salary.Slink back into your holes.
@DannyGirl-shut up!
3rd string guard.was that you on your grammar school rec team.
@DannyGirl-your cleaver, did you pick that up in your group home?
3rd string guard. Actually being a UCONN fan, I picked it up winning FOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS in 15years.
Deron is getting no type of playing time with Ryan on the team now unless he goes vintage dwill the whole season
Boat right is a good floor general. Stop hating
Rudy gay, caron butler, Villanueva, armstong, kemba walker, lamb, andre Drummond, napier are all on nba rosters. I think there is nine last I checked.
On nba rosters. Andre Drummond, Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, Ben Gordon, Hilton Armstrong, Emeka Okafor, Shabazz Napier, Jeremy Lamb Kemba Walker, Charlie Villanueva, Ryan Boatright. Ray Allen isn’t retired yet. I think there is like four d leaguers. The only one that uconn fans ever liked was thabeet because he was a good kid. Everyone at uconn knew he wasn’t a lottery talent. Same with napier. Brimah and Hamilton will be solid first rders next year.
