#Rockets get Jabari Smith Jr. (#3), Tari Eason (#17), TyTy Washington (#29), two second-round picks and unloaded Christian Wood 😂 Houston Draft Grade: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Rockets are getting a legit 6'10 hard-working, no-nonsense two-way player with an incredible drive to win. I feel like the Rockets got the #1 pick. Houston's basketball culture will be led by Jabari Smith Jr.

As of right now, your 2022-2023 Houston #Rockets 🚀 Kevin Porter Jr. Jalen Green Jae’Sean Tate Jabari Smith Alperen Sengun TyTy Washington Josh Christopher Garrison Matthews Tari Eason Usman Gaurba

The Houston Rockets committed felony level grand theft getting Jabari Smith at #3. His game is nowhere near its ceiling and we already know he’s about that work. Orlando and Oklahoma City will look back on this day with a mountain of regret while Jabari lights up the league.

Rockets new trio Kevin Porter Jr. Jalen Green Jabari Smith Average age of 20.3 years old!! https://t.co/QA0hhGP1MN

Tari Eason: 6-foot-8 7-foot-2 wingspan Can guard all 5 positions 90th percentile in transition Josh Christopher and Eason running in transition with Jalen Green and Jabari Smith as your PnR threat. Exciting to think about.

Jalen Green & Jabari Smith finna have hella conversations about how they should’ve been the first pick😭

Jabari Smith Jr. (@jabarismithjr) talks about what he's bringing to the @HoustonRockets after being drafted No. 3 overall in the 2022 #NBADraft presented by State Farm!

Jabari Smith Jr. on what he brings to the #Rockets: "I'm just going to bring competitive edge. My shooting ability, my ability to score, ability to guard multiple positions, and just my will to win, you know what I'm saying? I'm a team player, so that's what they're getting."

"That's me beating up on Kentucky right there." –– Jabari Smith Jr. (@jabarismithjr) 🤣 #NBADraft

THIS IS NOT A TALENT COMPARISON, but the fit between Jalen Green (slasher/shooter), Alperen Sengun (playmaking big) and Jabari Smith (volume shooter) reminds me of Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr.

What a draft from the #Rockets 3: Jabari Smith 17: Tari Eason 29: TyTy Washington https://t.co/CSFUKauvdo

Jabari Smith’s momma https://t.co/xNZ42qOfUj

“Rockets fans are down bad.” “How do you feel about drafting Jabari Smith Jr?” “I hate Orlando for stealing Paolo.” #JabariJungle: 😂🍾 https://t.co/jlSvpE5BiW

Jabari Smith is an EXCELLENT fit with the Rockets: he’s an elite shooter at 6’10, can spot up from anywhere, attack from the post, shoot over defenders with ease, has great athleticism, and can provide rim protection when necessary All around I feel like we got a steal at #3 https://t.co/qeHgdf7G0a

Gooooood morning to fans of the team that employs Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and TyTy Washington

@Rockets_Insider: “What stood out when you watched Jabari Smith Jr. on tape? Rafael Stone (with a smile): “I noticed when he shoots, it usually goes in.”

@JalenGreen Jabari Smith is hungry https://t.co/5jgsMw5m4F
