The Mavericks once again signed a big center with a training camp contract. Can he win a two-way contract?

According to American media HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the Dallas Mavericks will sign tall inside player Jamarion Sharp. Scotto did not clearly state the nature of the contract Sharp received, but we can basically be sure that what Sharp received from the Mavericks should be a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses.

Sharp was born in August 2001 and is 24 years old, 226cm tall and weighs 107kg. He was the undraft in the NBA draft last year. The inside player from the University of Mississippi also received a training camp contract with Exhibit 10 from the Mavericks last summer. He also participated in the Mavericks' training camp and preseason games, but was eventually cut by the team before the start of the NBA regular season last season. Sharp played for the Mavericks last season's NBA Development League team, Texas Legend. He played 42 games in the NBA Development League, averaging 20.9 minutes per game, averaging 5.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, 3.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 60.5% from the field and 54.8% from free throws.

Sharp also represented the Mavericks again in the NBA Summer League. He played 5 games in the summer league, averaging 16.1 minutes per game, averaging 2.2 points, 4 rebounds, 0.2 steals and 1.8 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 71.4% and a free throw percentage of 25%. Judging from Sharp's performance in the NBA Development League last season and in the previous NBA summer league, he is not a player with excellent personal abilities. He lacks sufficient scoring ability on the offensive end, nor does he have basic independent scoring ability. He can only score by eating cakes and simple offense at the basket. Sharp can protect the basket and defend the inside with his advantage in height, and he can also provide certain support in rebound protection. However, his shortcomings in movement speed are actually very obvious, which directly affects his performance on the defensive end, and he is also easily targeted by his opponents on the court.

Judging from the current situation, the Mavericks' lineup already includes 15 players holding standard contracts, but they still have a two-way contract quota that has not been used. In this case, Sharp can also win a two-way contract for himself through his performance during preseason and training camp. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, if Sharp is cut by the Mavericks before the start of the NBA regular season, after the start of the new season, he chooses to return to the Mavericks' NBA Development League team Texas Legends and stays in the Texas Legend 905 for 60 days in the NBA Development League field in the new season, he will be able to get a maximum of $85,300 from the Mavericks.
