According to [Keith] Smith, the second-round pick exception will allow teams to sign players to three- or four-year contracts with team options in the final season. It will also give second-round draftees the opportunity to earn more than the rookie minimum in the first season (for three-year deals) or in the first two seasons (for four-year deals).

VII. Player Eligibility and G League

A. Automatic Eligibility. A player will no longer be automatically eligible for the NBA
Draft by virtue of rendering services to a non-NBA professional basketball team (e.g.,
G League Ignite). Instead, such a player will be automatically eligible for an NBA
Draft if he is or will be 22 years of age during the calendar year of the Draft.

B. Two-Way Contracts
1. Number of Two-Way Players. The maximum number of Two-Way Players that
a team may have on its roster will be increased from two to three.

2. Signing Deadline. The January 15 signing deadline for a Two-Way Contract set
forth in Article II, Section 11(f)(i) of the CBA will be moved back to March 4.

C. Exhibit 10 Contract Bonus Amount. The maximum Exhibit 10 Bonus amount to
which a team and player could agree will increase from $50,000 to $75,00 for the 2023-
24 season and will increase annually thereafter at the rate of growth in the Salary Cap.

D. Off-season/Training Camp Roster Size. The off-season and training camp roster size
limit will be increased to 21 (from the current limit of 20).

That's quite nice for teams developing more within the GL system. It's kind of like protected players during an expansion draft but at a lower level. I like it.
