Who will the Houston Rockets land with pick No. 3 in the 2024 NBA Draft?
The Houston Rockets are in a unique spot during the 2024 NBA Draft. Their ownership of the Brooklyn Nets draft pick -- which was unprotected -- jumped to No. 3 overall in the draft lottery. Now, they've got the ability to trade the pick to get more win-now talent, helping a team jump-start a rebuild, or even bolster the center by taking Conneticut's Donovan Clingan -- as many mock drafts have suggested.
Now, investing in shooting is wise, though the team is invested in their frontcourt of Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet. Sheppard's shooting combined with his guard instincts and ability to play off the ball make him an attractive prospect in Houston. The Rockets jumped 19 wins from two seasons ago to the last season, and the improvements aren't done yet. Their 41-41 record left them No. 11 in the Western Conference, though another leap in the win/loss column feels inevitable.
