He was the 26th overall pick by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Texas and was dealt to Denver on a draft night deal. He averaged 6.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in 17 minutes a game last season, first for the Nuggets and then the Rockets, who acquired him at last year’s trade deadline for point guard Aaron Brooks.
Hamilton signed with Toronto over the summer as a free agent, but was cut in late October. He was then claimed by the Utah Jazz, but did not appear in a game before he was released on Nov. 6.
