The Houston Rockets effectively tabbed Alperen u015eengün as the leading piece of their rebuild during the young center’s standout 2023-24 season. But Houston could very well add a fellow big man to complement u015eengün in next month’s NBA draft.
The top two picks in the 2024 draft appear to be separating themselves from the rest of the class, with Frenchmen Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher expected to be the first two players selected by the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards, respectively. As for Houston at No. 3, the situation becomes quite complex for general manager Rafael Stone.
