The projected number 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft Jabari Smith slid down to 3rd with the Houston Rockets. This could work out for the good for Smith though, a tandem with Jalen Green is looking really nice for the future of the Houston Rockets, These 2 players games match each other almost perfect with Smith’s sweet shooting stroke, and Green’s explosive slashing ability. Smith size 6’10” 220 pounds mixed with Green’s speed and athleticism shows promise for the future of the Houston Rockets.
I’m still on Cloud 9. The Number 1 guy on my board dropped to us and he’s about to light up the league. Rockets GM Rafael Stone is GOATED 🐐 The future looks so, so bright. 🚀
🚀 #Rockets 2022 draft:
🚀 Jabari Smith Jr at 3 (Most mocks had him at 1)
🚀 Tari Eason at 17 (Many mocks had him in the lottery)
🚀 TyTy Washington at 29 (Many mocks had him as high as the lottery)
🚀 Two future 2RPs for trading down from 26 to 29
🚀 My draft grade: A+~George Seymore~
Congrats to Auburn’s Jabari Smith, who was the third overall pick in tonight’s NBA Draft!
Jabari becomes the highest Auburn player chosen in the draft.
Charles Barkley, Chuck Person and Chris Morris were chosen in the top 5, but none of them were drafted third or higher.
Jabari will take his talents to the Houston Rockets.~Rick Karle~
“I feel I can fit any NBA system with my shooting ability and my love for defense. I feel I can come in right away and make an instant impact.” – Jabari Smith Jr
