One recent first-round pick of the Houston Rockets took to social media to defend himself and finally set the record straight.
The 2021 NBA Draft was a pivotal one for the Houston Rockets, as they were midway through a full-scale rebuild and were armed with a bevy of first-round picks, which was a bit unusual for the franchise. The Rockets no longer had their All-NBA backcourt of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, nor did they have Mike D'Antoni or Daryl Morey at the helm.
However, several of the select four didn't quite live up to the expectations of a first-round pick. Christopher was dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies last season, who subsequently released him, and Garuba was traded to the Atlanta Hawks last season.
