Rockets 2023 NBA Draft Big Board: Who could Houston draft at No. 4?

New York Times  

No fake trades here. Even if the Rockets don’t end up trading the pick away, there are still some talented players slated to go at the top of next month’s draft which Houston already has its eyes on. Amen Thompson | 6-7 lead guard | 20 years old | Overtime Elite Scout’s take: Gives you a lot of credibility on the defensive end based on the competitiveness, size and tools. The build and defensive ability make me think of Usman Garuba a bit but Walker is a more comfortable shooter outside of just the corners and he’s confident with the ball in his hands. Anthony Black | 6-7 guard | 19 years old | Arkansas Scout’s take: True point guard in terms of his ability to make others better in pick-and-roll.

It’s that time again. Henricks shot 39.6 percent from 3 last season, but that may overstate things a bit; he only made 78.2 percent from the line and has a leftward lean on his shot while pulling the ball from the left side of his body; that can cause misses to the sides, especially when he’s not shooting with his …
