In the latest mock draft, the Houston Rockets walk away with one of the better 3-and-D prospects in recent years.
The Houston Rockets head into Sunday's lottery reveal with two draft picks, although it's expected that they will lose their own pick, as it's owed to the Oklahoma City Thunder, so long as it falls out of the top four picks. The Brooklyn Nets' pick, which the Rockets hold, figures to be a valuable pick, as there's over a 50 percent chance that it falls within the top ten.
Finding playing time for yet another one would be a daunting task. But the Rockets would obviously have to find a deal of their liking and that hasn't happened yet. "As a smaller guard who can provide some shot creation to support the rest of the team, Sheppard could make sense as a long-term replacement for Fred VanVleet. Some of the concerns about his size could also be mitigated in Houston, just like they currently are for FVV,” said O’Connor.
