Who says limited number of places, necessarily says disappointed at the end of the Draft. This is surely the case of Jacob Toppin, who has not heard his name called by Adam Silver or Mark Tatum at the Barclays Center. What to leave empty-handed without a guaranteed contract… unless.
Do not panic Jacob! Do you know what nepotism is? It’s when your brother is already in the NBA and you manage to scratch a 10 day contract thanks to him. Pistoning what:
Kentucky forward Jacob Toppin has agreed on a two-way contract with the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. He’s the younger brother of Obi.

Although it deserves his valve to see the little brother automatically sign with the brother’s team following his failure in the Draft, this kind of practice remains commonplace following the 58 choices announced. The franchises indeed “rescue” the non-selected to test them for a few days in the internal laboratories of each franchise, a kind of 3rd round, just to make fans of the 60s nostalgic.
But then what is the Jacob worth? Potential to be exploited or are we just making the brother happy? No idea. In any case, when you look at the former Kentucky winger in his works, there is no doubt that he is Obi’s brother. Big dunk, an antelope trigger, and smooth by sequences. For the most depressed among you, we serve you 30 minutes of his highlights on a silver platter, also an opportunity to see two or three actions of the 10th choice of the Draft Cason Wallace, his former teammate.
Hey hop, a Toppin hides another in New York. Surely disappointed with his non-selection for the 2023 Draft, Jacob Toppin has the opportunity to prove that we were wrong regarding him. So… what will Jacob’s 10-day contract lead to?
