Australia's latest NBA revelation has finally secured a long-term deal, after playing half a season on a two-way contract.
Duop Reath, the Portland Trail Blazers' 27-year-old rookie, has signed a three-year deal with the team, following an incredibly impressive debut year for the team.

He has now been rewarded for his efforts, signing a long-term deal with the team.
