HOUSTON – Houston Rockets General Manager Carroll Dawson announced today that the team has assigned guard Gerald Fitch to the Austin Toros, the Rockets’ NBA Development League affiliate. Fitch, who was acquired by the Rockets in a trade with the Miami Heat for guard/forward Derek Anderson on 2/23/06, has been designated as an inactive in all six games since his arrival. “We think this gives Gerald a good opportunity to get some valuable playing time and continue working on his game,” said Dawson. “The best way to evaluate a young player is to see him compete in game action and this move will allow us an opportunity to see him play against other young players.” Fitch (6-3, Kentucky) averaged 4.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 18 games (one start) with Miami during his rookie season. He was signed by the Heat as a free agent on Aug. 12, 2005, but was waived by Miami on Oct. 31. The Heat later re-signed Fitch on Nov. 18, as he saw his first action with Miami vs. Portland (11/23). Not drafted into the NBA out of college, Fitch was signed by Washington as a free agent on Oct. 1, 2004, but was waived by the Wizards prior to the regular season on Oct. 30. He spent the majority of the 2004-05 season in Europe, splitting time between KK Cibona VIP Zagreb (Euroleague/Adriatic League) and Khimik-OPZ Yuzny (Ukraine Superleague). Fitch also appeared in two games with Washington at the 2004 Pepsi Pro Summer League in Orlando. --- 官网连结： http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Fitch_Assigned_to_Austin-170898-822.html --
