Michael Carter-Williams of the Rockets: joins Houston for a minimum contract

Carter-Williams agreed to a one-year minimum contract with the Rockets on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Carter-Williams played 52 games for the Hornets last season, starting just two, as a result of knee and shoulder injuries. In replacement of Kemba Walker, Carter-Williams averaged 4.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 badists in 16.1 minutes. But, he shot an abimemal 33.2 percent from the field – his second consecutive season below 40 percent. Given the presence of Chris Paul, James Harden and Eric Gordon on the Rockets, it's not immediately clear where Carter-Williams will find minutes.
