3. Reed Sheppard, PG/SG, Kentucky

A knockdown shooter who puts surprising pressure on the rim, Sheppard has intriguing upside, but he could also make a living as a longterm combo guard reserve in the big leagues.

2. Zaccharie Risacher, SF, JL Bourg

There are questions about Risacher's creation abilities, but with so much young talent, the Rockets could covet the 6'8" 3-and-D wing as Dillon Brooks' long-term replacement.

1. Alex Sarr, PF/C, Perth

There will be questions about Sarr's fit with Sengun as well, but he may be nimble enough on the perimeter to work alongside him - and his ceiling as a defensive anchor may be too high for the Rockets to pass up regardless.
