The 5’7” floor general spent last season in the Houston Rockets’ system. After appearing in training camp, he was waived before Opening Night and assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets’ NBA G League affiliate. In 49 G League appearances, Nowell averaged 16.1 points and 8.4 assists across 30.9 minutes per contest.

College Accolades
During his senior year at Kansas State, Nowell captured the Bob Cousy Award, presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate point guard.
