The UConn center could help the Rockets trade down in the draft while maximizing value of pick No. 3.
Could the Houston Rockets be in the trade market to move down in the 2024 NBA Draft? Plenty of teams are going to be after UConn's Donovan Clingan, and -- with the Rockets owning the No. 3 overall pick -- teams could look to trade with them to try and secure the 7-foot-2 center.
"Donovan Clingan is going to be one of the more interesting players to watch in this draft. There are a couple of teams that are being very active trying to trade up to draft the UConn big man," Finkelstein said. "Memphis and Chicago, in particular, I am hearing are making a significant attempt to move up to a position where they could draft Clingan."
"While Clingan is an option for Atlanta at , and he's an option for Washington at , there's a variety of places within the top seven that are not expected to be potential destinations for him, specifically because they already have their centers of the future," Finkelstein continued.
