The most unfairly treated White player, not in the NBA in recent years, has been signed to a two-way contract by the Lakers. He's on the Lakers roster tonight.
The former Gonzaga superstar impressed so much on Long Island last season, the Nets signed him to a two-year deal. In 9 games with the Brooklyn Nets Drew averaged 12 .1 PPG, 7.7. RPG and shot over 44% from the field. And the athletic, 6"10" forward became a "sudden fan favorite",
But, not surprisingly, the Caste Nets let him go after using 5 first round picks last June -- (4 of the 5 picks seem to be totally useless, only the Russian teen from BYU plays at all).
Drew was averaging over 25 points per game in the G-League this season. I believe, without a doubt, he's been the best player outside of the NBA the last three years, barely ahead of McClung.
Hopefully, he gets a real chance with the Lakers, as he seems to be a player always on the "edge" of being cut, regardless how well he plays
