Rafael Castro Finalizes Two-Way Deal with Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets completed their two-way contract overhaul by adding 6-foot-10 center Rafael Castro. Going undrafted in 2026 following a senior season at George Washington where he averaged 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks, Castro is recognized for his speed, athletic rim-running, and pick-and-roll proficiency. Though a traditional big man lacking perimeter shooting range and currently weighing a slight 224 pounds, he joins the organization as an intriguing developmental prospect.
