The latest mock draft proves that the Houston Rockets are subject to take a wide array of avenues in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Houston Rockets find themselves in a great situation, heading into the 2024 offseason. They were predicted to win 31 or 32 games, but won 41, despite dealing with a myriad of injuries to Tari Eason, Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet, and Amen Thompson.
In spite of them defying odds and outperforming expectations, they find themselves armed with the third overall pick in this year's draft. And they also had the benefit of giving Cam Whitmore, a young prospect, much-needed playing time as a rookie, meaning he'll enter his second season with a level of familiarity of what the big league entails.
The Rockets don't necessarily need another young prospect, hence the trade rumors regarding the pick. If the Rockets do make an actual selection, they could go a number of different directions.doing the unthinkable and taking Nikola Topic"There’d be no pressure for Topic with Fred VanVleet already under contract. He could learn from him while working to improve his jumper and adjusting to NBA physicality.
O'Connor has Alex Sarr and Donovan Clingan being the top two picks in the draft. In other words, the Rockets would be drafting Topic with Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard, Ron Holland, Zaccharie Risacher, Cody Williams, and Stephon Castle all on the board.
This is the first time that we've seen the Rockets linked to Topic, as most mocks have had them selecting Clingan or Sheppard.Want to join the discussion? Like
