The Houston Rockets finished with an NBA-worst record of 20-62 last season. In the 2022 draft, Houston selected Jabari Smith at No. 3 from Auburn, Tari Eason No. 17 from LSU, and made a trade to acquire TyTy Washington out of Kentucky who Memphis selected at No. 29. Smith (15.3 ppg, 7 rebounds) and Eason (9 ppg, 6.3 rebounds) have already made an impact through four games. Smith is also the first Rocket since Hakeem Olajuwon to score at least four points in each of his first four career games for Houston. Overall, Jalen Green leads the charge with 24 ppg, Kevin Porter Jr with 20.8 ppg, and Alpren Sengun with 15.7 ppg and 10 rebounds.
