AUGUST 3: Rhoden’s deal is now official. It’s an Exhibit 10 contract, so it could be converted into a two-way deal before the regular season begins.
AUGUST 2: The Trail Blazers are signing rookie shooting guard Jared Rhoden to a training camp deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
Rhoden went undrafted out of Seton Hall this summer. He played four seasons for the Pirates, including 31 games last season in which he averaged 15.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG and 1.2 APG in 33.1 MPG. He shot 31.2% on 3-point attempts during his college career.
The 22-year-old shooting guard appeared in eight Summer League games with the Kings at Las Vegas and San Francisco, averaging 10.6 PPG, 5.1 RPG and 1.5 APG in 23.2 MPG.
Portland has 15 players on guaranteed deals but does have a two-way slot open, which Rhoden could presumably claim with a strong showing in camp.
I thought the kings signed him?
Must be thinking of Jeriah Horne?
Maybe
Rhoden didn’t finish off his college career as expected. But he still profiles well to the NBA. Exhibit 10 to 2wc to a real one, within a couple of years, would not surprise me.
I liked this guy in summer league, although there is obviously some skills that I’m interested to see improvement in. I’m pretty sure I considered him more of a 4, possibly a 3, than a 2 guard. If he can improve the jumpshot, he could be potentially useful on the wing, and that’s a spot where they could use someone. However, they have so many similar players at the 4 on this roster
I would think 1 or even 2 of Winslow, Little, Brown, Watford, Walker will be moved/let go, as they also have Grant…6 guys there
