Rockets leaning towards taking Jalen Green with No. 2 pick
Much of the chatter I’ve heard the past couple weeks has suggested that the Rockets prefer Jalen Green to Evan Mobley at this spot. There have been reports in recent weeks that Houston has interest in trading up with Detroit to take Cunningham, but the vast majority of speculation from other teams has centered on Green as the presumptive fit at No. 2.
Cade Cunningham considers Houston an intriguing spot
David Hardisty: Cade Cunningham called the Rockets an “intriguing spot”. He had praise for both Kevin Porter Jr and Christian Wood.
James Edwards III: Cunningham: “I wanted to meet with the team that had the No. 1 pick because I feel I’m the No. 1 pick. If the Rockets get the No. 1 pick, I’d meet with them if there is enough time.”
David Hardisty: Evan Mobley on the potential of being selected by the Rockets: “They’re a very young team. Very athletic. That’s very exciting.”
