The latest mock draft might prove to be too good to be true for the Houston Rockets at pick number three.
Better yet, we've heard it for years. This class doesn't have a Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson level of a prospect.
It's still a major victory to walk away with a player who has a skillset that fills a team's needs. For this reason, the Rockets can go a number of different directions with the third pick in the draft, which has everyone struggling to pinpoint exactly what they'll do. Many have the Atlanta Hawks predicted to nab Risacher with the too overall pick, which would obviously end any hopes or dreams of the Frenchman to fall to Houston. The 6-foot-8 wing has drawn comparisons to Michael Porter Jr. of the Denver Nuggets, as he too is a knockdown shooter, 35.2 percent from deep, and has the ability to be a connective piece on offense.
