Houston Rockets draft picks 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027: Full list

The Houston Rockets' roster has undergone an entire overhaul over the last several years, as Rockets GM Rafael Stone has had to tear the roster down from long-time contenders to a rebuilding team, then back into contenders once more. The Rockets shipped away fan favorites such as James Harden, Eric Gordon, and P.J. Tucker, while also shipping away star-level players such as Russell Westbrook and Christian Wood.

All in all, Stone has made 21 trades since taking over as the GM in 2020.

These trades have netted the franchise an abundance of first and second-round picks, adding to their extensive stockpile of invaluable draft capital. This is an accomplishment alone, as the Rockets' cupboard was completely bare when Stone took over, as it pertains to draft picks.

Though the front office has stashed an impressive treasure trove of assets in recent years, all the protections and moving parts from these transactions has possibly left some Rockets fans confused and wondering about the specific details. 

Where are these picks coming from? Will they materialize? If so, when will we see them arrive in the Space City? Not to worry, we've got you covered, as the following list should answer your questions.
