The Houston Rockets were not the only Rockets to make a splash in the 2022 NBA Draft.
For the first time since 1998, a Toledo Rocket went off the board when shooting guard Ryan Rollins was selected by the NBA champion Golden State Warriors with the 44th pick of the second round. Rollins is the second Toledo alumnus drafted in the lottery era and the first since Casey Shaw went to the Philadelphia 76ers at the 37th overall pick 24 years ago.
The Warriors acquired the pick from the Atlanta Hawks for the 51st overall pick and $2 million, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
