Houston Rockets

Onuaku, C (37), Zhou Qi, PF (43)

I’m not really sure what Houston’s plan is but they drafted two prospects who probably won’t play for their NBA team next season. Both have potential to be monster shot blockers one day, but that is all they really bring to the table. After the draft they signed point guard Gary Payton II, who has the athletic ability to maybe make a small, but immediate impact in Houston.

Draft Grade: C

Next: Indiana Pacers
