Tier Three: G-Leaguers searching for two-ways
This next tier of players are players who should likely remain in the G-League but could be seeking out two-way contracts with an NBA team (some of them already have two-way deals).
No. 10: Justin Moore - Moore was a big part of Villanova's 2022 Final Four run before dealing with Achilles and knee injuries in the following two seasons. Moore is 6-foot-5, 210 pounds and can use his size and strength to bully smaller guards in the paint, similar to what we saw Jrue Holiday do at times. A career 34.4 percent 3-point shooter at Villanova, Moore can shoot on the perimeter a bit too.
No. 11: Jamir Chaplin - Chaplin is 6-foot-5, 200 pounds and averaged 14.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 58.4 percent on field goals, 36.1 percent on 3-pointers and 71.4 percent at the free throw line this past season. If Chaplin can improve his shooting off the dribble, he could be a true three-level scorer and an asset for the Wisconsin Herd.
No. 12: Jalen Lewis - Lewis is an 18-year-old who spent three years with Overtime Elite, signing as a 16-year-old and the youngest professional basketball player in American history. Lewis is 6-foot-8, 223 pounds, and is another of a list of athletic, crafty finishing forwards on the roster. Lewis has some good isolation moves, but it remains to be seen if his talent will translate against NBA talent.
No. 13: Ryan Rollins - In 15 games in the G-League last year, Rollins averaged 15.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals. Rollins' shooting numbers are respectable, but his shot selection is questionable at times. Rollins can get to the rim and finish, but he probably won't get much better than he already is, reflecting his ranking being this low despite having reached a higher level than a lot of players above him.
No. 14: Jaylin Galloway - Galloway is in a similar situation as Rollins. He joined the Wisconsin Herd in March and played just seven games. Galloway is another athletic forward who can finish at the rim with his athletic 6-foot-7, 190-pound frame.
