TyTy Washington is taking his talents to Houston, as the Rockets have selected the former Kentucky guard with the No. 29 pick in the first round.

Washington is the second former Wildcat to come off the board this evening, with Shaedon Sharpe previously selected No. 7 overall by the Portland Trail Blazers.

The 6-foot-3 guard finished his one-and-done season in 2021-22 averaging 12.5 points, 3.9 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest. He finished the year scoring in double figures 20 times, including five games of 20 or more points.
