Rookie forward Kevin Hervey has signed an NBA G League contract, tweets Adam Johnson of 2 Ways & 10 Days. The Thunder selected Hervey with the No. 57 pick in the draft last June, with the team set to hold his rights in the G League.
Hervey, 22, spent four seasons at the University of Texas at Arlington before declaring for the NBA Draft. At 6-foot-8, 230 pounds, he has the ability to play both the small forward and power forward positions. He averaged 20.5 points per contest in his senior season last year.
The Thunder have opted to send other draft picks to the G League in recent seasons, including Josh Huestis and Dakari Johnson.
Hervey is represented by agent Michael Tellem of CAA Sports.
UT-Arlington wasn’t it? Part of the UT system though!
Yes indeed.
