Rookie guard Houston Mallette<\/a> is set to sign with the Bulls after going undrafted out of Alabama, reports Blake Byler of BamaOnLine (Twitter link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A five-year college player who spent three seasons at Pepperdine and two at Alabama, Mallette accepted a lesser role with the Crimson Tide after having been a full-time starter for the Waves. After missing most of 2024\/25 due to a non-basketball upper body injury<\/a> he sustained at his home, he averaged 6.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 23.3 minutes per game across 35 appearances (12 starts) in his final college season.<\/p>\n

Mallette showed off a solid outside shot over the course of his college career, attempting 5.1 three-pointers per game and knocking them down at a 37.2% rate.<\/p>\n

Byler hears that Mallette\u2019s deal is for the Summer League (Twitter link<\/a>). However, Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress, who is maintaining a tracker of UDFA deals at RookieScale.com<\/a>, tells Hoops Rumors that Mallette is also expected to sign an Exhibit 10 deal with the Bulls.<\/p>\n

An Exhibit 10 contract is a non-guaranteed training camp deal that will put Mallette in line for a bonus worth up to $91K if he\u2019s waived before the regular season begins and then spends at least 60 days with the Windy City Bulls, Chicago\u2019s G League affiliate. It could also be converted to a two-way contract before opening night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rookie guard Houston Mallette is set to sign with the Bulls after going undrafted out of Alabama, reports…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,2725,57],"class_list":["post-352849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-mallette","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
