Guard Jaden Bradley signed a multi-year contract with the Toronto Raptors on Monday and the team also converted guard Malachi Smith to a two-way contract.
Per team policy, financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Bradley was picked in the second round, 50th overall, by the Raptors in the 2026 NBA Draft.
As a senior at Arizona last season, he was named Big 12 player of the year after averaging 13.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 30.6 minutes in 39 games.
Bradley also earned Big 12 first team and all-defensive team honours, while helping the Wildcats reach the Final Four of the NCAA tournament.
Smith signed with Toronto as a free agent on Aug. 17. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound shooting guard averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 23.9 minutes in 15 games (four starts) with the Brooklyn Nets last season.
