The 2018 NBA Draft is coming soon and the Rockets have a second-round pick in it.

The NBA Draft will soon be upon us. It is on June 21 and, while they don’t have a first-round selection this year, it can still be an exciting time for the Houston Rockets.

There are some holes in the roster that can be filled with young talent that is available in this draft. This draft class, in particular, is very deep and will produce quite a bit of NBA-ready talent.

With the Rockets having to resign quite a few players this offseason, finding a diamond in the rough could be a great option for saving some money. The forward position is one where the Rockets could find a potential role player in the second round. All the money the team can save this offseason will help towards the goal of a championship.

In this post, we’re going to look at three forwards that the Rockets could take with pick No. 46 in the NBA Draft. These players are college-proven guys who could potentially help the team this year and beyond. Let’s get started.
