Kyle Wiltjer just may be earning himself a roster spot on the Houston Rockets. In 5 preseason games, he’s shooting an impressive 52.6% (10 for 19) from three and a solid 52.9% from the field (18 for 34). His 9.6 ppg is currently 5th on the team. He’s also had 14 rebounds in 75 minutes of play while limiting his turnover to 3, all in a single game in which he played 25 minutes.
In his first preseason game against the Shanghai Sharks, Wiltjer only played 9 minutes but scored 10 points including 2 threes. Noteworthy for Shanghai was a kid with the funny name of Jimmer Fredette scoring 33.
