Josh Christopher starting to play like a lottery pick

We all know by now that the Houston Rockets had a busy draft night this past July. The Rockets started the night with three first-round picks and snagged a fourth mid-draft after trading for the 16th pick, which turned into Alperen Sengun. They also drafted Jalen Green at second overall and Usman Garuba at 23.

One player was kind of an afterthought and just seen as Jalen Green's friend instead of a potential difference-maker, and that was Josh Christopher with Houston’s final pick of the round at number 24.

Talent has never been a question for Christopher, however.
