Rockets 'Could Make It Into The Play-In Tournament' With Current Roster

Rick Kamla, host on SiriusXM NBA Radio, joins Next Up to recap the 2024 NBA Draft that saw the Houston Rockets select Reed Sheppard, a guard from the University of Kentucky, with the No. 3 overall pick. "I love Houston's roster" and they walked away with the "best shooter in this draft," Kamla said.

When asked whether the Rockets should have drafted Donovan Clingan, a center from UConn, instead of Sheppard, Kamla says Houston has "Steven Adams for a year" behind Alperen Şengün.

The Rockets finished five games back from the final spot in the Play-In Tournament last season. "The West is so tough" but with this roster and players taking a next step in their development, the Rockets "definitely could make it into the Play-In Tournament."

Kamla also discusses the Kevin Durant trade rumors and the Los Angeles Lakers drafting Bronny James, son of LeBron James, with the 55th pick where they could become the first father-son duo to play in the league at the same time.
