According to Michael Scotto, a reporter from HoopsHype, the Rockets signed Kevon Harris with a two-way contract. Harris is 1.98 meters tall and mainly plays in the shooting guard and Xiaoqian. This guy played in the Hawks system last season, but he has not played in the NBA and has been playing in the Development League. From 22 to 23, he played in the Magic in 34 games per game and averaged 4.1 points per game.

During this year's Development League game, Harris won the MVP in the Development League Stars (the same nature as the NBA's rookie MVP). In his 27 games in the Development League team under the Hawks system, Harris averaged 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 45% from the field, 42.1% from three-pointers and 79.2% from free throws.

According to Rockets reporter Ben DuBose, the Rockets have signed with David Roddy and Harris with two two-way contract places, and the third two-way contract place has submitted a qualified offer to N’Faly Dante. If the contract is finally signed successfully, these three two-way contract players will serve as Rockets' temporary emergency rescue players next season.

Nifaldant was a 2.11-meter-tall undraft center. As a fifth-grade senior, he averaged 17.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.7 steals in 31.4 minutes in 22 games. Dante was selected as the 2024 Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and the best player in the Pac-12 Championship. He has also been selected as the first team of Pac-12 twice. If the Rockets' third inside is not injured, it will be difficult for him to get playing time.

For two-way contract players, they need the opportunity to prove themselves and sign their own formal contract. For example, the Rockets' former forward player House successfully obtained his own formal contract through his outstanding performance during the two-way contract. Moreover, due to his outstanding performance in the Rockets, he also received signing contracts from other teams, and even worked as teammates with Deng Ge for the 76ers.

Now the Rockets have made great efforts in the offseason and have become a strong contender for the championship next season. If the Rockets encounter injuries next season, then these three players can seize the opportunity to show their abilities. If you can't get a chance to play, it's also good to be lucky enough to be in the middle of the season to win a championship with the Rockets.
