23. Houston Rockets (from Portland)
Miles McBride | 6-2 guard | 20 years old, sophomore | West Virginia

I’m guilty of being a bit higher on McBride than others but there’s a lot to like with this young man. Houston fell off a cliff defensively once the injuries kicked in last season and there aren’t too many more lockdown guards than McBride. He’s undersized but the length, quick-twitch skills and motor are insane. In some ways, he’ll be able to cover up for Green and Porter’s deficiencies. Think a shorter Jrue Holiday. McBride should be a solid rotational piece in Houston.

24. Houston Rockets (from Milwaukee)
Ayo Dosunmu | 6-5 guard | 21 years old, junior | Illinois

At pick 24, the Rockets should just be in the business of collecting talent. Dosunmu has the potential to be a versatile, small ball switchable piece, something that appeals to Silas. He had a solid combine showing and should pair nicely with other wings on the roster in Danuel House Jr., Jae’Sean Tate and K.J. Martin. Green, Dosunmu and McBride is an excellent draft night haul and should steer the Rockets forward for years to come.

And this is coming from a Miles McBride fan.

No. 2 — Houston Rockets: Jalen Green, G, G-League

The Rockets have reportedly leaned towards taking Green, the high-scoring guard from the G-League. He’s got great upside as a superstar scorer and Houston feels comfortable pairing him with John Wall in his early years.

No. 23 — Houston Rockets (via POR): Alperen Sengun, C, Besiktas

Sengun hasn’t really done much to hurt his stock; it’s other players who have skyrocketed up boards to push him down. The Rockets need a frontcourt prospect and Sengun fits the team’s rebuilding timeline. He might not get much playing time right away, but he could eventually develop into a star in the post.

No. 24 — Houston Rockets (via MIL): Ayo Dosunmu, G, Illinois

There’s a good chance the Rockets move this pick in an effort to shed salary, but they take Dosunmu if they keep it. The Illinois guard got knocked a little too far down in my opinion after one game against Loyola-Chicago, but was the frontrunner for National Player of the Year at one point. With Wall as a mentor, Dosunmu could thrive in Houston.

I would love this draft. Dosunmu intrigues me at 24 a lot. KPJ insurance.
