Year of the Underdog: Undrafted rookies making an impact this season

With most teams having played about a dozen games so far, Rookie Wire took a look at those undrafted players making an early splash.

Chris Clemons, Houston Rockets

Season Stats: 5.9 points, 43.4% 3-point range

Clemons has produced for the Rockets when needed.

The former Campbell guard is two games removed from recording a career-high 19 points in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Eric Gordon out for the foreseeable future, the Rockets will likely turn to Clemons more, especially on the second night of a back-to-back when Russell Westbrook rests.

Signed to a two-way contract, Clemons has only one appearance in the G League this season so the Rockets may eventually be forced to sign Clemons to a standard NBA contract as they burn through his 45-day service time.
