On a Saturday afternoon, the Houston Rockets hosted an introductory press conference for Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Usman Garuba, and Josh Christopher. The last time the Rockets had an introductory meeting for a first-round pick, it was Sam Dekker in 2015. This was an exciting moment for the organization after a troubling season in which they were 17-55. Rafael Stone had a huge smile on his face throughout the press conference.
Stone discussed how these four players can adapt to this Rockets’ roster, as they already have younger players on the roster. He said:
“We have players on our team that we are already excited about, and I think this crew will fit in fine with that group.
