Rockets’ rookies Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun betting favorites for ROY honors

The Houston Rockets arguably had the most prosperous draft of any team during the 2021 NBA Draft. Headlined by top draft selection in Jalen Green, who is coming off a season where he averaged 17.9 points for the G-League Ignite. The Rockets draft class includes two players with European championship titles in Alperen Sengun and Usman Garuba and an All American freshman who averaged 14.3 points at Arizona State in Josh Christopher.

So when the Rockets begin their 2021-22 campaign with four budding rookies, the season could end with one of Houston’s draftees taking home some NBA hardware.
