Rockets sign Chandler Parsons

HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets have signed second-round pick Chandler Parsons.
Parsons’ agent, Mark Bartelstein, said in a phone interview Saturday that Parsons signed a four-year deal worth $3.7 million.

“Dream come true. So thankful for everyone who has contributed,” Parsons wrote on his Twitter account.
The 6-foot-9, 200-pound Parsons was the 38th overall pick in the summer. He sat out the first week of training camp before his contract was signed, but he was expected to be in uniform for Saturday’s preseason opener against San Antonio.

Parsons led Florida in rebounds and assists and was selected the Southeastern Conference’s top player last season.
