The Houston Rockets have agreed to sign power forward Cameron Oliver to a multi-year deal after he was left on the board in Thursday's NBA Draft, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Nevada product is coming off of a strong sophomore season, averaging 16 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 1.8 assists for the Wolf Pack.

The 20-year-old power forward is at his best when he's attacking the basket, using his explosiveness and athleticism to finish above the rim with ease. After struggling with his shot early in his collegiate career, Oliver improved significantly from beyond the arc over the past season, hitting 38.4 percent of his 3-point attempts.

While athletically gifted, Oliver will need to improve his awareness at the next level to truly succeed. Although he possesses the physical tools necessary to excel on the other end of the floor, Oliver struggled defensively at times over the past two seasons.
