HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Rockets have agreed to terms with
their two picks from the June NBA Draft, a Houston television
station reported Saturday night.
KRIV-TV said Houston has reached an agreement with first-round
choice Jason Collier of Georgia Tech and second-round pick Dan
Langhi of Vanderbilt.
Collier, a 7-foot forward/center, agreed to a a three-year deal
with an option for a fourth, the station said. The amount was not
disclosed, but under the NBA's rookie salary scale he must be paid
within 20 percent of $992,000.
Langhi, a 6-11 forward and last year's Southeastern Conference
player of the year, made an oral agreement for one year with an
option for another, Langhi's agent Bill Duffy told the station.
Houston traded ninth pick Joel Przybilla to Milwaukee for
Collier, the 15th pick, and a future first-rounder on draft day.
The Rockets got Langhi in another draft-day deal that sent Eduardo
Najera and a future second-round pick to Dallas.
Rockets officials were unavailable Saturday night for comment. | |
