The Houston Rockets are likely to land a lottery pick in 2027. Regrettably, an NBA draft expert says that executives are "ringing the alarm bells" about the strength of that class.
If you're a Rockets fan, avoid complaining to most rival fans. Those complaints will justifiably fall on deaf ears. The Rockets have had their share of lottery picks in recent years. Do they need another blue-chip prospect?
Fine - but we'll complain amongst ourselves. The Rockets were smart to flip most of their Nets picks for a larger volume of Suns picks, but giving up their 2026 first-rounder in what seems to be a star-studded class stings.
