Former Rockets First-Round Pick Urges Media to Stop Spreading Fake News

The 2021 NBA Draft was a pivotal one for the Houston Rockets, as they were midway through a full-scale rebuild and were armed with a bevy of first-round picks, which was a bit unusual for the franchise. The Rockets no longer had their All-NBA backcourt of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, nor did they have Mike D'Antoni or Daryl Morey at the helm. The Rockets nabbed Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Josh Christopher, and Usman Garuba in the first-round and became one of the league's youngest teams.
