Rockets win potential point guard again: signing G League MVP player JD Davidson

10:02pm, 27 July 2025【Basketball】

According to a reporter from the NBA Rockets team on July 27, the team management has signed a two-way contract with former Celtics guard JD Davidson, who was just cut by the Celtics a few days ago. The Rockets have used up their last two-way contract. The 15-person roster is successful. After signing JD Davidson, he will find it difficult to get more opportunities to play in the new season. Most of the time he is in the Rockets' Development League Vipers to fight monsters and upgrade.

JD. Davidson is the 53rd pick in the second round of the 2022 draft. He is 1.85 meters tall and plays as a point guard. He has always played for the NBA Celtics. He played in the regular season. He only played 36 games in three seasons, averaged 5.5 minutes per game, and scored 1.9 points. His shooting percentage is not very ideal, only 35.3%, which is obviously not up to standard for a defender.

Although JD. Davidson has not developed smoothly in the NBA, he is like a superstar in the Development League. He once averaged 25.6 points + 7.7 assists per game in the Celtics Development League team, performed very well, and won the G League MVP honor; the Development League was once again powerful in three games in the playoffs, and averaged 34.7 points + 3.3 rebounds + 13.3 assists + 2.0 steals + 1.0 blocks per game. It can be seen that both offense and defense were very explosive, and even Shepard may not play. The Rockets signed him like buying a lottery ticket and hoped to scratch out a lottery prize!
