Houston Rockets Draft Prospect Series: Stephen Zimmerman

Intro

A 7’0” center with the ability to knock down the jump shot doesn’t come around too often in the league. However Zimmerman, a product of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels is being highly overlooked by teams in the NBA and that’s mostly due to medical concerns.

In any other scenario a likely late 1st-round pick could be a steal for teams seeking to boost their benches with a solid if yet unappealing rookie. And aside from the immediate physical concerns there’s no other reason not to think the UNLV prospect could develop into a talented player in the NBA in a couple years.
