2022 NBA Mock draft: Detroit Pistons land #1 pick again
2022 NBA Mock Draft: Pick #3
Duke / Houston Rockets. Paolo Banchero. 3. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward. 169
The Houston Rockets stay in the 3rd position in this mock 2022 NBA Draft and are able to add another high-level athlete and prospect to their roster.
Drafting Paolo Banchero would give the Rockets a lot of options in the front court, as they could potentially trade Christian Wood, or play him at the five with Banchero, giving them one of the most athletic young cores in the NBA.
The Rockets are already set at guard, and these three prospects really have separated themselves from the pack in the 2022 NBA Draft.
This would be a no-brainer for the Rockets and if this was how it panned out in the top three, all of these teams would walk away happy.
