The Houston Rockets have made numerous smart decisions during this era, but they made a critical error in the 2021 NBA Draft. They should have selected Evan Mobley over Jalen Green. Luckily, they were able to turn the pick into a star by trading Green for Kevin Durant.
What's done is done. Mobley has had tremendous success with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's already won a Defensive Player of the Year award, and he'll likely be a perennial candidate.
Just how bad was this decision?
Rockets missed on elite defensive prospect
Gruesome. Heinous.
