But did you expect for the Houston Rockets to do anything predictable at this time of the year? Absolutely not — the element of surprise is one of the greatest strengths of the brass in this franchise, something that I prefer to see.
The team finished up the draft by redeeming one of their two second-round picks by taking Isaiah Hartenstein at No. 43. I talked about Hartenstein and his potential impact with the team but it will be a while where we will see him regularly. He will stay overseas next season but will play in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next month.
