Rockets offer center Dante contract to make him a restricted free agent

On June 27, the NBA Rockets have provided a one-year, two-way contract qualification offer to 2024 undraft center player Enfley Dante, making him a restricted free agent and contains a trading margin of $50,000. It is reported that the Rockets are very optimistic about Dante's future development potential and hope to continue to see his continuous improvement. He is likely to continue to participate in the NBA Summer League that will begin soon.

2024-2025 season, 23-year-old Dante is 2.08 meters tall, 2.28 meters in wingspan, and weighs 118 kilograms. He plays as a center and is a bit short. He only represents the NBA Rockets in 4 games, averaging 12.8 minutes per game, scoring 6.0 points + 5.3 rebounds + 1.3 blocks, and his shooting percentage is as high as 77.0%. His offensive score at the basket is very efficient, and his defensive end is very explosive. If converted into a 36-minute efficiency value, he has the potential of double-double data of 18+10 per game.

Dent played most of this season with the Vipers, a team under the Rockets, the Development League. He averaged 27.5 minutes per game, contributed 15.6 points + 9.7 rebounds + 2.3 blocks, and shot a 74.0% shooting percentage. He still plays very aggressively on both offense and defense. The Rockets may hope that he can surpass Shin Kyung's dominance in the inside in the future!
