Pacers Signing Duane Washington Jr, Terry Taylor To Standard Deals

The Pacers are converting the two-way contracts of guards Duane Washington Jr. and Terry Taylor to standard deals, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Each player will receive a multiyear deal, presumably partially guaranteed.

Washington, 22, is 6-foot-3 and averaging 9.6 points in 46 games. He has had quite a nice run after going undrafted out of Ohio State last summer, then signing a two-way deal with the Pacers in August.

Taylor, 22, is 6-5 and is also impressing as a rookie after going undrafted out of Austin Peay. He has appeared in 31 games and averaging 9.6 points and 5.2 rebounds. 

Taylor signed with the Pacers in August, was waived in September, then signed his two-way deal on Dec. 15.

The Indiana Pacers are converting two-way guards Duane Washington and Terry Taylor to standard, multi-year NBA contracts, sources tell ESPN.
