Last year, the Rockets received the 2nd overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. The No. 2 pick ended up being G-League Ignite guard Jalen Green, who shined bright in his rookie season.
If the Rockets were to receive the first overall pick, it would be for just the sixth time in franchise history and first time in 20 years. In the previous occurrences, the Rockets have had a ton of success picking from the start of the draft. Four of the organization's five No. 1 overall picks have been inducted into the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame.
Candidates for the top overall pick this year include Auburn's Jabari Smith, Duke's Paolo Banchero and Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren.
