The NBA draft is fast approaching and will be the first step in a huge offseason for the Houston Rockets. After the NBA Draft Lottery, on May 17, we will know precisely where the Rockets will be drafting at the top of the draft.
However, the Rockets do already know where they will be drafting with their second first-round pick. Houston, via the James Harden trade, will have the 17th pick this year. Most of the talk has been about the Rockets' first pick, but their second pick could ultimately become just as important.
