General Manager Rafael Stone Spills Beans on the Houston Rockets’ Third Pick in 2024 NBA Draft

After the lottery finalized the draft order, the Rockets found themselves with the third pick. This prompted general manager Rafael Stone to speak out on what the front office is going to do with that asset in a video ClutchFans posted on X:

Unlike the previous draft that resulted in Victor Wembanyama joining the San Antonio Spurs, this year’s class of rookies is projected to be weaker. Nevertheless, Houston can make the most out of their pick, either by being smart on who to choose or packaging it to acquire a better player in the offseason.

It remains to be seen what the Rockets will do on or before the 2024 NBA Draft. In any case, it’s going to be an interesting offseason for the team in the coming months.
