Troy Daniels is returning to the Houston Rockets, if we're to believe the tweet he fired off on Monday night.

If Daniels himself isn't a reliable enough source, the Houston Chronicle also reported the sophomore has re-upped with Houston, calling it a two-year deal.

Daniels is a story of effective player development. Undrafted out of VCU, the Rockets signed him in February after a strong start to the season with Houston's D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Rockets kept him in the D-League for most of the season's stretch run, where he averaged 21.5 points, playing him in just five regular season games.

But they must have liked what they saw and heard from their own people in Rio Grande Valley, because Daniels got run in the first round of the playoffs, even hitting a game-winning shot against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Rockets had a team option on Daniels for the 2014-15 season but opted to decline it, making him a restricted free agent, rather than picking it up and risking Daniels later leaving as an unrestricted free agent.

Daniels should provide a strong shooting presence - he hit on better than 40 percent of his threes in the D-League - off the bench for the Rockets, finding time as a reserve at shooting guard.
