Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta and general manager Raphael Stone each said they expected the team to be ‘aggressive’ with three first-round picks in Thursday’s NBA draft. A final look at how the first round could play out:The distance between the presumed top pick and the two players likely to follow is slim and the betting odds of Smith going first have narrowed considerably. But that has not kept Smith from looking likely a safe bet to be the Magic choice with first pick.
The Cavaliers could be tempted to keep Malachi Branham and his shooting touch in state, but Agbaji brings a bit more size and a similar shot, making him perhaps more of a ready-made 3-and-D option.The Hornets could move one of their first-round picks but whether they pick twice in the middle of the first round or not, they seem likely to draft one of the top center prospects when they get the chance.The Hawks are another team in the middle of the first round that could make moves.
