Rockets 2021 player previews: Chris Clemons
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Chris Clemons
The 5’9” Clemons came to the Houston Rockets last season as un undrafted free agent out of Campbell University in North Carolina, initially on a two-way deal, but one that was later converted to a standard contract. He’s due to be paid $1.5 million this year non-guaranteed and also has a $1.7 million team option for 2022, so this looks like a make-or-break year for Clemons with the franchise.
And there’s a window of opportunity here. With Russell Westbrook and Austin Rivers both gone from the guard rotation and the health of the incoming John Wall a question mark until we can see him on the court, there’s an opening for some minutes.
