Derrick Walton Jr: Secures two-way contract with Heat

Walton failed to be selected during the 2017 NBA Draft, but after a standout
Orlando Summer League, the Michigan product was able to secure a contract for
the upcoming season. The fact that it’s a two-way deal means Walton will spend
the majority of the upcoming season with the team’s G-League affiliate, but
he’ll still be able to spend up to 45 days with the Heat, meaning he’ll be able
to work closely with the organization to further his development. The 6-foot-1
guard averaged 10.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 20.5 minutes
during four Summer League games.
