The Dallas Mavericks have five Europeans on their roster at this point (including two-way player, British Tobi Lawal), two of which are completely new to the US and the NBA. But why do we keep talking about this?
The Mavericks have signed Tobi Lawal to a two-way contract, per NBA.com’s transactions log. Dallas selected the former Virginia Tech standout with the 48th overall pick in last week’s draft.
When the NCAA approved its new five-in-five eligibility model earlier this week, one of the initial thought processes was that all players receive an extra year.
Like Virginia Tech men's basketball, the Dallas Mavericks have undergone a plethora of roster turnover. Last February, Luka Doncic was dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers in a trade involving Anthony Davis and Max Christie among others.
