As team boards finalize today, the 1-2-3 of the NBA Draft is increasingly firm, per sources: Jabari Smith to Orlando, Chet Holmgren to Oklahoma City and Paolo Banchero to Houston.
On the night before Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are scheduled to face off in an arbitration case and argue over whether heโs worth $21M or $17M, he delivers a walk-off single in a rousing comeback against Houston.
(Heโs worth a lot more than both numbers, by the way.)
The Rockets take Jabari Smith with the No. 3 overall pick

Minnesota acquired the pick from Houston via the Christan Wood trade with Dallas, per source.

The Houston Rockets will make the play-ins this year
The Houston Rockets committed felony level grand theft getting Jabari Smith at #3. His game is nowhere near its ceiling and we already know heโs about that work. Orlando and Oklahoma City will look back on this day with a mountain of regret while Jabari lights up the league.
TyTy Washington was selected No. 29 overall by the Grizzlies and traded to the Houston Rockets!

The biggest winners of the draft are by far the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets.
TyTy Washington: โHouston is a pretty fun city, so we're going to make sure Toyota Center is full and going to turn up.โ #Rockets
