ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Bulls signed Tobe Awaka to a two-way contract.
After being a starter during his first season at Arizona, Awaka moved to the bench to make room for expected first-round pick Koa Peat. However, the 6-foot-8 senior forward’s production improved. In 39 games, Awaka averaged 9.3 points and 9.1 rebounds in 20.8 minutes, shooting 58.7 percent from the field and 64.2 percent from the foul line. Awaka’s rebounding ability and physicality will give him a chance to carve out a role in the NBA.
