The Charlotte Hornets announced this week that they signed forward Arnoldas Kulboka and guard Scottie Lewis to two-way contracts.
Kulboka averaged 9.2 points and four rebounds in 33 games last season with Bilbao Basket in the Liga ACB, the top basketball league in Spain. He also played the 2019-20 season with Bilbao Basket after the Hornets drafted him with 55th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft.
Lewis, who was the 56th overall pick this year, averaged 7.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.5 assists and one blocked shot in 21 games with the Gators. He produced perhaps his best game of the season on Dec. 6 when he registered 10 points, 10 rebounds and six assists versus Stetson.

The two players will split their time next season between the Hornets and Greensboro Swarm in the NBA G League. They will have the opportunity to develop with the Swarm while gaining some NBA experience throughout the season with the Hornets.
Players this season signed to two-way contracts are eligible to spend no more than 50 games in the NBA. They will earn a flat salary equal to 50% of the minimum salary applicable to a player with zero years of service.
