In the 2024 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets should consider selecting Ignite prospect Matas Buzelis.

In roughly three weeks, the NBA Draft Lottery will take place, as the final draft order will be finalized for teams with lottery selections. The Houston Rockets are projected to pick just inside of the top 10 via the Brooklyn Nets, even though Houston doesn’t have its own pick. A pick in that range will allow the Rockets to add one of the more promising players in this class.

Although he played on a G League Ignite team that wasn’t very competitive last season, Buzelis still made an impact on winning. He did struggle given he was playing professionally at 19 years old — and also battled an injury early in the season — but got better as the season went on. If he were to be added to the Rockets’ roster for next season, Buzelis would be a fascinating piece to play alongside Jabari Smith. For the Rockets to take that next step now and into the future, Amen Thompson will need space to operate and get to the rim. Buzelis is 6-foot-10 and Smith is 6-foot-11, which would mean positional size and shooting for the Rockets on the wings that would provide spacing.
