Report: Rockets add undrafted Trevon Duval to summer-league roster
Former Duke guard Trevon Duval will play summer league with the Houston Rockets, sources told Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.
On the deep starting core of the Blue Devils, Duval ranked fourth in shots attempted (9.4) and struggled from behind the arc (29 percent). The good news is the 6-foot-3 point guard is an outstanding athlete and solid passer who led the team with an assist rate of 30.2 percent.
Duval will benefit with improved spacing at the professional level. If he develops into an above-average shooter, the former top-six recruit has a chance to shine after a difficult year in Durham.

What the analysts are saying
"Duval has top-20 athleticism and the room to grow into a very good NBA player. His shot is broken (relative to NBA standards) and his freshman-season reel unequivocally dropped him into the second round. But it would not be a shock to look up in five years and see Duval as one of the top 15 point guards in the NBA. That is the essence of sleeper material. If it happens, the team that picks him could wind up being among the biggest winners of the 2018 draft." - Matt Norlander, CBS Sports
