The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great.

The Houston Rockets were a team to watch for this year's draft; they made a trade on Tuesday to try and position themselves better for a potential Kevin Durant trade, and it looks as though they'll be taking their rebuilding project to the next level.

They held on to the third overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft and selected Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard to add yet another blue-chip prospect to their stockpile of impressive youngsters.

The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft has concluded (the second round is Thursday), and indeed there was more action that just draft prospects hearing their name called on Wednesday.
