It’s a yearly tradition here at SB Nation where the site managers all participate in a mock draft. It’s a tradition that I sat out of for a while, since before last season, the Houston Rockets didn’t have a first-round pick since Sam Dekker in 2015. But I’ve been making it up these last two years. I had three picks last year (which the Rockets turned to four on draft night), and now I have another three picks this season.
The only rule is that there were no trades because we felt it could take too long/become too convoluted, so it’s just a straight draft.
