HOUSTON – Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey announced today that the
team has signed free agent forward Luc Mbah a Moute (BAH-ah-MOO-tay). Terms of
the deal were not disclosed.
Mbah a Moute (6-8, 230) was originally the 37th overall pick by Milwaukee in the
2008 NBA Draft. In nine seasons, he has appeared in 621 games with 438 starts,
including a career-high 76 for the Los Angeles Clippers in 2016-17.
This past season, Mbah a Moute shot 50.5% from the floor, including a
career-best 39.1% from 3-point range. He would have ranked tied for fourth in
the NBA in steal-to-turnover ratio (1.76) had he qualified, and has more steals
(236) than turnovers (219) over the past four seasons.
Mbah a Moute has received votes for NBA All-Defensive team in each of the past
two seasons. In 2016-17, he was fourth in defensive rating (102.0) among
forwards who played at least 70 games while averaging 20+ minutes played.
