Rawle Alkins, an undrafted guard from Arizona, signs a two-way deal with the Chicago Bulls.

As reported by Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania:

Alkins signed up for this year's draft but was not picked by any team. When he wasn't picked, Alkins didn't lose hope. He knew he still had a chance to fulfill his dreams.

“I’m always motivated, I guess you could say it was a humbling experience, I didn’t really expect that, but when it happened, I had to move to the next step. You can’t think about it throughout the process, you just have to keep moving forward,” Alkins told David Skinner of The Daily Wildcat.

The Toronto Raptors picked him up as part of their Summer League Roster. The 20-year-old, 6-foot-5 guard, averaged 9.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in six games. Raptors coach Nick Nurse praised Alkins' productive activity on the court:

“He took the opportunities that were there, they backed off of him after he drove a couple times, and he stuck a three, they pressed up on him, and he drove it. He played hard and he was productive. He did things well on both ends,” Nurse said.

Now with the Bulls, Alkins will be reunited with his college teammate and rising star Lauri Markkanen. He even tweeted the good news.

As a two-way player, Alkins will split time between the NBA and G League. His base salary will be roughly $75,000 plus the prorated NBA minimum when the Bulls call him up for his services.
