The Rockets have agreed to sign undrafted free agent Mason Jones to a two-way contract, reports Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com (via Twitter). Jones will fill one of Houston’s two-way slots for the coming season.
Jones, who declared for the draft after his sophomore year, led the SEC in scoring with 22.0 PPG. He added 5.5 RPG and 3.4 APG to go along with a shooting line of .453/.351/.826 in 31 games (33.9 MPG).
The Razorbacks shooting guard ranked ninth on Givony’s list of prospects who went undrafted.
The rules for two-way players are a little different during the NBA’s shortened 2020/21 campaign. They’ll earn salaries of $449,155 and won’t face a limit on how many days they can spend in the NBA. However, they won’t be able to be active for more than 50 games.
Them teams who passed on Mason Jones getting ready to see and feel his fury!
Props to Houston for signing Mason.
Ummm…sure…
Great college shooting guard, and I think he’s shown that he’s ready and willing to work to get to his next level. Good pick up.
