The offseason can be a success story in itself for the Rockets, as the 2022 NBA Draft approaches. Houston holds the No. 3 pick in the June 23 draft, and several mock drafts have the Rockets landing one of three players — Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren, Auburn’s Jabari Smith Jr. or Duke’s Paolo Banchero.

Head coach Stephen Silas, general manager Rafael Stone and the rest of the Rockets front office are looking for results after a 20-win season, the lowest among all NBA teams in the 2021-22 schedule. With the Rockets also owning the No. 17 pick in the draft, along with potential acquisitions via free agency, the franchise is hoping to see progress sooner than later.
