The Golden State Warriors are signing Nico Mannion on a two-way contract, according to Shams Charania. They drafted the 19-year-old Italian-American guard as the 48th overall pick this year.
Manion went to Pinnacle High School and spent a year at Arizona with the Wildcats. He was named to the Second-team All-Pac-12 this year.
Another European in Adam Mokoka has also gotten a two-way contract, in his case with the Bulls. Mokoka, 22, went undrafted in 2019 but the Bulls picked him up and gave him a chance with a two-way contract.
He played 11 games in the NBA last season with ten minutes on average contributing with three points per game. His best game came against the New Orleans Pelicans.
He banked in 15 points in five minutes with 3-3 for two and 3-3 for three, setting an NBA record. Those points were his first-ever in the league.
