Add one more tally to the number of Hoyas in the NBA, as Class of 2015 center Joshua Smith signed a deal with the Rockets on Thursday. As of yet, there has been no information released on the terms of the deal meaning it could be guaranteed money or just a training camp invite. Smith signs the deal after spending the NBA Summer League playing with the Miami Heat11917735_1685044431714786_1097378649_n

Smith transferred from UCLA to Georgetown during his junior year. He sat out for part of the 2013-2014 season after running into off-the-court issues but returned to play his entire senior season with the Hoyas. With his enormous size (6’10”, 360 pounds) and quick footwork, Smith quickly became a centerpiece of the offense. At times, however, Smith struggled with fitness and his minutes were often limited by fatigue. Going forward, he likely has the skill set of an NBA player but will suffer from Glen Davis syndrome of being hindered by his weight until he slims down.

Bottom line, Smith is one step closer to an NBA roster spot. Here’s hoping he makes it.
