Follow the NBA draft tonight with our staff to see what comes after San Antonio's No. 1 pick and Victor Wembanyama.
When Rafael Stone and Ime Udoka seemed nearly as pleased on lottery night as they had to be disappointed not to have won the draft, there seemed one reason.The Rockets were high on the high flier from the start, more so when they met with him the next day and even more so with every meeting, every workout and every bit of feedback they received.
Portland had the No. 3 pick. Will they get a player as good as one of the franchise greats Clyde Drexler?In 1983 the Rockets had the No. 1 and No. 3 picks. They took Ralph Sampson with the first pick. A no-brainer.The mistake was they bypassed Drexler with the third pick. Rodney McCray was a fine choice, but The Glide, an eventual Hall of Famer, would have been the better pick.
Officially, it took six minutes, 18 seconds for Silver to return to the podium, a few more seconds before Wembanyama hugged his family and stepped into NBA history.
