AUGUST 13: The signing is official, according to a team press release.
JULY 30: Undrafted Duke forward Matthew Hurt has agreed to a two-way deal with the Rockets, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.
Hurt was the conference’s leading scorer last season, averaging 18.3 PPG and 6.2 RPG for the Blue Devils in 24 games as a sophomore. The 6’9” Hurt shot 44.4% from 3-point range, making him an attractive free agent after the draft.
The Timberwolves were among the teams also interested in signing Hurt, Darren Wolfson of KSTP tweets. Hurt worked out for a number of clubs during the draft process, including the Rockets.
Kid can score. He has a strong chance to be gettin major minutes for Houston by the end of the season. He’s (yet) another great recent pickup by the Rockets
He won’t get major minutes playing behind Jae’Sean Tate, Christian Wood, KJ Martin, and Usman Garuba (possibly Kelly Olynyk too if he re-signs).
Although his elite 3-point shooting should get him some playing time.
Dude…anyone has a chance for minutes on that team.
After Green, Wood, Wall, Porter, Tate, Gordon, Martin, Sengun, and Garuba there won’t be many minutes left for a G-Leaguer. If they re-sign Olynyk there will be even fewer left for Hurt or anyone else.
Wally did you change your nickname again? Must suck to go from HardenRuss to Porter?))))
How did this dude not get drafted?? He is better than Aari. Wiggins who the thunder picked up at 55. And he is very similar to Georgios Kaletzeikas the only difference is Georgios is a draft and stash
His defense needs a lot of work, that’s why no one drafted him.
Hopefully playing in the G-League will help him to improve upon it.
