The Rockets have signed undrafted rookie guard Rob Gray, according to a team press release.
The terms were not announced but Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle tweets that it’s a training camp deal.
The 6’1” Gray averaged 18.8 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 3.0 APG and 1.2 SPG in his three college seasons with the University of Houston. He’s the American Athletic Conference’s all-time leading scorer with 1,710 points.
Gray, who saw brief action with the team’s summer league squad in Las Vegas, scored a combined 62 points in two NCAA Tournament games in March, including 23-point, 10-rebound effort against national runner-up Michigan. Gray averaged 19.3 PPG, 4.4 APG and 3.7 RPG in his senior year.
Gray hinted right after the draft that he’d get a training-camp invite from the Rockets.
“I will be playing summer league/training camp with them trying to earn a roster spot for the upcoming season,” Gray said.
Hope he is a diamond in the rough.
Seems to be another shoot first pass after type of PG.
I enjoyed his games in The NCCA’s. He could be a Vinnie Johnson, Jamal Crawford of the bench.
