The Houston Rockets were winners on draft night for the second straight year. The first draft post-James Harden yielded the Rockets a franchise cornerstone player in Jalen Green, a starting center in Alperen Sengun who has already exceeded most expectations in the first year, and a shooting guard who showed at the end of the year he could become a valuable sixth man in Josh Christopher. Even though Usman Garuba didn't have the opportunity last year to show if he will be able to contribute in the NBA, the Rockets will give him that opportunity this year.
