The Houston Rockets have only had second-round draft picks in recent years, but they’ve missed out on some big first-round talent in the past.
Every team in the NBA is guilty of passing up guys who later became stars. It’s inevitable. Hall of Famers like Karl Malone and Kobe Bryant were 13th picks while the Spurs went even deeper to find Manu Ginobili with the 57th. The Houston Rockets certainly aren’t immune to post-draft regrets, as their last five selections aren’t currently on the roster anymore.
