The Rockets view undrafted rising sophomore guard Daishen Nix as a "lottery pick" talent, according to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen, who made the statement on last week's ClutchFans podcast. It's a revelation that isn't so surprising in light of the body of Rafael Stone's comments about the 20-year-old prospect last season as he tore up the G League prior to his eventual call up to the major leagues.
I was dismayed when the team acquired veteran guard Dennis Schroder at the trade deadline, hoping that the second half of the season would go to Nix.
