Why the best player available and best fit are the same for Rockets in 2022 NBA Draft

It's that time of year again when amateur draft experts ( myself included) began to ramp up trade talk and analyze the top players in the draft. With the Houston Rockets having the worst record for the second straight year, Rockets fans are included in this group.
