Only a week remains before we know who the newest members of the Houston Rockets are going to be. While it is easier to project who the third pick will be in the 2022 NBA Draft, the selection at number 17 is way more fluid as the draft pool starts to dilute.
I’m all for taking the best player available, but it would be a neglectful and reprehensible move if the front office doesn’t add at least one player that projects to be a stalwart on defense. For the team that finished dead last in defensive rating this season, there has to be an effort to acquire guys who take pride in that side of the ball.
