After two years as a two-way player, David Duke Jr.’s contract has been converted to standard NBA contract. The Nets announced the move after declining to extend Moses Brown’s second 10-day contract.
The moves give the Nets 16 players: 15 on standard deals and Dru Smith on a two-way, leaving the second two-way deal open.
Duke, a Providence product, had played for the Long Island Nets both last season and this. In 22 G League games this season, the 6’5” wing averaged 22.6 points, good enough for fifth in the G League, on 48/32/81 shooting splits. He also registered 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.7 steals in 22 games. Just a few days ago, Duke finished third in G League MVP voting. Duke averaged 3.1 points, 1,0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 21 NBA games.
