Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey today announced that the team has signed forward William Howard to a two-way contract.

Howard (6'8", 207) was playing for Salt Lake City in the NBA G League and is the eighth GATORADE Call-Up of the season. In 15 games for the Stars, Howard averaged 13.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 3-pointers made on 43.7% shooting.

Howard does not have elite athleticism; however, his three-point shooting numbers could make him a good fit for the Rockets.
