12:42pm: It’s a one-year contract, according to The Athletic’s Fred Katz (Twitter link).
7:31 am: The Wizards have signed former Michigan State point guard Cassius Winston to his first NBA contract, inking him to a two-way deal, according to the league’s official transactions log.
Winston, who spent a full four-year college career with the Spartans, is coming off a 2019/20 season in which he averaged 18.6 PPG, 5.9 APG, and 2.5 RPG with a shooting line of .448/.432/.852 in 30 games (32.7 MPG).
The No. 53 overall pick in the 2020 draft, Winston was technically selected by Oklahoma City, but was sent to Washington in a draft-night trade.
Winston will join guard Garrison Mathews to fill the Wizards’ two-way contract slots, as our tracker shows.
Curious player.
At times WINSTON can be SMOKIN’
Other times
CASSIUS has feet of CLAY !!
Oh no lol
Not that I think Winston will play much if any role at the NBA level this year, but the Wizards could be sneaky good this year.
But when 10 teams make the playoffs for both conferences…
