UNLV forward Christian Wood – one of the highest-rated talents to go unselected in the NBA draft on Thursday – has agreed to a free-agent deal with the Houston Rockets, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Wood will sign a partially guaranteed contract, sources said.

Wood, a 6-foot-11 forward, performed below standards in pre-draft workouts and dropped completely out of the second round on Thursday night. Wood averaged 15.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks for UNLV in his sophomore season before declaring for the draft.
