I can't remember much about Wood, however, he has had brief stints in the NBA and he is only 21 years of age. He will be interesting to watch.

Wood went undrafted in 2015 out of UNLV, which was a surprise. He is 6'11 with excellent shot-blocking and good range, but is still trying to put together other aspects of his game.
Interesting prospect, and is currently playing great for the Mavs in Orlando.

Hmm. He sounds interesting. I wonder if the Suns will have him under a make-good contract. If he plays well, I would hate to see another team snatch him away. The Suns could use a rim protector.

It's just for SL. Says he likes #26 so I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up with that number. He will probably be wearing #11 though if we find a trade for Knight.
The NBA Salary Cap FAQ has been updated with info on Two-Way players. Some things to note...
A team can only have 2 players on Two-Way contracts, which explains the increase in roster size 17. A team still only has 15 roster spots but they are given 2 extra for Two Way players, so they can have up 17 players so long as 2 of those are occupied by players on Two-Way contracts.
Two-Way players can only spend 45 consecutive days on the main roster at a time.
Their Two-Way contract doesn't count against a team's salary cap.
Two-Way players cannot play with their team in the playoffs but they can travel and practice with them.
A player is ineligible to sign a Two-Way contract if he will have more than three years of NBA service at any point in the contract. A player cannot play under Two-Way contracts for the same team for more than three years total. I believe that will keep 1st round picks from signing "Two Way" deals or having the Exhibit 10 provision placed in their contract that would allow a team to convert their deal into a Two Way contract.
There is more info here...

Their is a provision in some contracts so a team can change a player's contract from a regular deal to a Two-Way contract, which would then open up one of their 15 roster spots while converting that players status to one of their 2 allowed "Two-Way" deals. .
The link below discusses the possibility of converting a standard NBA contract to a Two-Way contract. It's an option placed in the contract itself, called "Exhibit 10", and that allows their contract to be changed to a Two Way deal. They can have up to 6 players signed with "Exhibit 10" provisions in their contracts. I can see that being something standard that will go into deals offered to 2nd round picks, and undrafted rookies. It also discusses how a Two-Way Contract can be changed to a standard NBA contract.

It looks like there could be some flip-flopping of two-way contracts to standard contracts on applicable players depending upon the need of the franchise and the development of the players.
So most of the other D-League players not on two-way contracts or signed to the 15 man rosters can act as free agents for other NBA teams or even the Suns.

Tatum looking like a complete player. Pour some out for Slin.

Looking like a good scorer. Pretty much what most expected he would be.

One can watch Alec Peters shooting on Doug Haller twitter.
The big guy looks pretty good. He may be a role player in the NBA.

He did that on all the videos I saw of him this years. It's funny how a narrative about a player develops before the draft and sticks with him even if inaccurate.
I am still happy with Jackson. Defense matters.

My understanding about the knock on his athleticism had more to do with his lack of quickness and a slow first step. These things still seem like they are there, but don't show up in transition or in spot up shooting. He does a good job of using advanced post moves to get by his defender or to get his shot off, but not really with athleticism.
It becomes most obvious when he tries to post up big athletic wings. He struggles to get by them and struggles to get his shot off over them as well.

I figured Fox or Tatum would be fine consolation prizes if Jackson was gone. Hoping Jackson is a bigger star though, now.
Jackson will be amazing. This is why everyone thought the draft was so deep. Tatum was on the "likely to be an all star tier". Jackson had votes on that tier and votes on the "likely to be a superstar" tier.

Oh god let him please be a superstar.

I couldn't understand why so many on this board saw Tatum as equivalent to Warren. It was clear that his scoring skills are elite. But whether he can become an NBA-caliber defender remains to be seen.
Jackson's not becoming a "superstar" unless he improves his shooting dramatically, especially from the line. You can possibly become a top player in spite of being lousy defensively, but someone who isn't a consistent offensive threat will always be limited.

And with a limited Point Guard like Bledsoe - actually with any point guard that isn't Ball or Jason Kidd - play making matters.
