JUNE 22: Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell, one of the stars of this year’s NCAA Tournament, has agreed to a two-way contract with the Raptors, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Nowell sparked the Wildcats to the Elite Eight and set a tournament record for assists in a game with 19. The 23-year-old spent five seasons in college and averaged 17.6 points and 8.3 assists per game as a senior.
Nowell was a first-team All-Big 12 selection this season and was named to the conference’s All-Defensive Team as well.
