Auburn center **[Dylan Cardwell](https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/dylan-cardwell-1.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2025-06-26_cbb)** has agreed to a two-way contract with the **Kings**, Jonathan Givony of ESPN [tweets](https://x.com/DraftExpress/status/1938438346734289405).
Cardwell had a five-year career with the Tigers, coming off the bench for all but two games in his first four years before grabbing a starting job in 38 games last season. He posted modest stats — 5.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 20.3 minutes per game. However, according to Givony, he’s an athletic big with elite toughness, defensive intensity and finishing prowess.
He made 10 of 13 field goal attempts during Auburn’s Final Four run while averaging 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks during those five games. Cardwell obviously needs to work on his offensive game but could develop into a reliable backup center due to his defensive attributes.
The Kings finished the season with an open two-way spot.
