Is the UConn star suited to play for the Rockets, or is it a bad fit?
The Houston Rockets selections across popular mock drafts have remained consistent -- it's been one of Kentucky's Reed Sheppard or UConn's Donovan Clingan.
"Dig deeper into the fit, and you'll see the Rockets don't have an opening at the 5, where ascending star Alperen Şengün just ranked second on the squad in minutes, shots and assists. You'll also notice Houston is already squeezed for spacing and could get even more cramped as it expands the role for non-shooting playmaker Amen Thompson," Bleacher Report wrote.
See, Sengun is vying for the top option within the Rockets' offense while contributing little to the team's defensive scheme. Clingan would embody the culture and defense-first mentality, while also clearing the way for Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet to be creators in the offense without playing through the center.
