    Rockets Sign Tarik Black

    HOUSTON – Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey announced today that the team has signed Tarik Black, a participant on the team’s Orlando and Las Vegas Summer League squads.

    Black (6-8, 253, Kansas), appeared in 135 contests and held career averages of 8.4 points on 61.4% FG shooting, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over the course of his four-year NCAA career. In his lone season at Kansas, he was named Preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and went on to average 15.0 points per game in the NCAA Tournament. In three years at Memphis, Black was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team, All-Defensive Team and All-Tournament Team.

    In five contests at the 2014 Orlando Summer League with the Houston Rockets, Black averaged 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and a team-leading 1.0 blocks in 20.0 minutes per game. Black also appeared in eight games for the Rockets in the Las Vegas Summer League as the team reached the Samsung NBA Summer League Championship.

    Please learn something from history.

    This is the Troy Daniel signing of last year.

    Any bench help is a plus. Not every player has to be a star.

    This type of signing is to typically protect several players in your D-league to avoid other teams stealing from you. See Troy Daniel last year.
