Howell has signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Blazers, the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A North Carolina State product, Howell posted 12.7 points (on 57 percent shooting), 10.9 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 32 minutes per game last year as a senior. After going undrafted this summer, he donned a Nuggets uniform at the Las Vegas Summer League, putting up 1.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 10.7 minutes across three tilts. Now that he has left his French team, BCM Gravelines Dunkerque, he'll receive an opportunity in the States but likely end up at the Blazers' D-League affiliate at Idaho, as the team has all 15 spots spoken for on the NBA roster.
