The Pacers have withdrawn their two-way qualifying offer to Cassius Stanley, making him an unrestricted free agent, J. Michael of the Indianapolis Star tweets.
Stanley played on a two-way contract as a rookie. He saw action in 24 games, averaging 1.5 PPG in 3.9 MPG.
Stanley, 21, was chosen with the No. 54 overall pick in 2020 out of Duke. He competed in last year’s Slam Dunk competition prior to the All-Star game.
He averaged 12.6 PPG and 4.9 RPG in his lone season with the Blue Devils.
Indiana has both of its two-way slots filled by Amida Brimah and Duane Washington.
Lakers or Warriors might want to see if he could fill one of their low-end slots
He is gonna turn into a great role player some Day
I’m really surprised by this. Obviously they addressed their wing position, but I really liked the depth they accumulated this last few months there. He should have played more last year. Multiple teams that still need wing help might want to give him a look there
Hellbent on being 1andDone at Duke… shoulda stayed 2, 3, or all four!
Yea that worked out great for Wendell Moore and Matthew Hurt right
Neither of those guys were ready, nor was Stanley. He should have stuck around for 2 years minimum.
Colleges are designed for the un-developed, the NBA for the rich already.
