It’s NBA Draft Lottery night: Here’s why Houston Rockets fans should care

It’s the night of the NBA Draft, and for Houston Rockets fans, this could be a potential night to celebrate.

It also could be potentially a very disappointing night.

This is what happens when fans root for a team that finished with the worst record in the league at 17-55. The hope for the fanbase after a season at the very bottom is to get the best possible prospect coming into the league. And this year, there is a consensus player expected to be the top pick overall: Cade Cunningham, who starred in his one season at Oklahoma State University.
