Houston, TX (Best E Casino) - The Houston Rockets signed forward Donte Greene to a multi-year contract on Monday. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Greene was selected 28th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in the June 26 draft before his rights were traded to Houston that night along with a 2009 second round pick in exchange for the rights to forward Darrell Arthur, who the Rockets took one pick earlier.

The 6-foot-9 Greene entered the draft after one season at Syracuse, where he led the team and ranked fourth in the Big East with 17.7 points per game. The athletic forward also grabbed 7.2 rebounds and blocked 1.6 shots per game en route to second team All-Big East honors.

The Baltimore native scored 620 points for the Orange, the second-highest freshman total in school history behind Carmelo Anthony (778 in 2002-03). Greene also set a Syracuse freshman record by draining 90 three-pointers for the year.
