Former Seton Hall star Jared Rhoden continues to earn chances in the NBA.
The Charlotte Hornets claimed the former Pirate off waivers and signed him to a Two-Way Contract ahead of the start of the 2024-25 NBA season Tuesday night.
Players on Two-Way Contracts split their time between their respective NBA teams and the G-League affiliate of the same franchise. They are paid based on which league they play for.
The 6-foot-6 Rhoden appeared in 17 games with the Detroit Pistons last season, averaging 4.9 points (50.0 FG%, 38.7 3P%) and 1.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game. He has suited up for 31 games with the Pistons across two NBA seasons and holds career averages of 4.1 points and 2.3 rebounds. In 81 NBA G League appearances for his career, Rhoden has posted 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
A native of Baldwin, N.Y., Rhoden played four seasons at Seton Hall and left the program as one of 12 Pirates to log more than 1,200 points and 600 rebounds in a career. He was named All-Big East First Team for the 2021-22 season and made the All-Big East Tournament team in 2021.
His former teammate Sandro Mamukelashvili is also on the opening night roster of the San Antonio Spurs. In July, the 6-11 big man signed a one-year , $2,162,606 contract with San Antonio after averaging 4.1 points and 3.2 rebounds last season.
