#11: Houston Rockets (via Chicago Bulls) select Cody Williams 

The Rockets just keep loading up on versatile wing players with size in Cody Williams, who they hope can provide similar impact as his brother has in OKC. 

Williams is a big wing with a dynamic offensive bag around the rim who can do a little of everything. 

He’d be a nice eventual fit with their other young players and could even supplant Dillon Brooks at some point, making him a potential trade target. 

The Rockets are arguably the big winners of this draft, as they have improved their perimeter defense and shooting with Caruso while still adding a high upside lottery pick. Some Bulls fans are wondering right now if they would have been better off just keeping their pick and taking Williams and they'd have a point.
