Shooting guard Sterling Brown has agreed to a one-year deal with the Rockets, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Because Brown never received a qualifying offer from the Bucks, he was able to hit the market as an unrestricted free agent.
The 6-foot-5 swingman was drafted by the Bucks with the 46th pick in 2017 out of SMU. The 25-year-old has a career slash line average of 5.2 PPG/3.1 RPG/1.0 APG across his three seasons in the league. He also has connected on an average of 77.4 percent of his free-throw attempts, 41.7 percent of his shots from the floor, and 34.5 percent of his 2.6 three-point looks per contest.
His shooting should be a solid attribute to a changing Rockets club that still prioritizes surrounding stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook with switchable perimeter scorers, but how long those All-Star guards will stay with the franchise remains up in the air now.
