And yet they have converted C Moussa Cissé to a Two-Way contract.

So what can we read out of this decision?

He seems to be long, young and athletic and plays Center. While the other above don't offer these attributes, they all shouldn't be available for Two-Way Contracts anymore, right?

Cissé got the final 2-way as well.

Yeah, the other three were not 2 way eligible.  I think the Mavs gave them some exposure, plus being in an NBA camp.  I think the likely outcome for all three is to be on the Mavs G-league team.   If so, I am glad.  Mavs G-league roster has always been bottom level.  I am not sure Nembhard is going to play many G-league games, I think.

Cisse looked good in preseason.  Although, he played college for five years and really did not put up much stats.  Was pretty good on defense.   I read he was a top 10 recruit who re-classified.   Looking at his Wikipedia page, it looks like he played at three high schools and 4 colleges.   Maybe getting him for two years and see how he can develop in a set system will help?

Man, I know we're all prone to latch onto whatever new young guy is around every season, but I really liked Cissé! I like him more than Kai Jones, I think.

Who is the main decision maker on our 2-way signings? 
They know what they're doing

Cisse looks to have Mihinmi potential or worse case Mbenga.

Maybe history could repeat itself again:

Damp/Diop/Mbenga
Chandler/Haywood/Mihinmi
Lively/Gafford/Cisse

A Mbenga reference. Wow.

I think Don Nelson was firing one up what they acquired him.
