First-round March Madness matchups for potential Houston Rockets draft picks

Houston Rockets March Madness NBA NCAA Tournament

With the 2021-22 NBA regular season nearing its conclusion, there isn’t a lot left to play for in Houston — at least not in terms of wins and losses. The Rockets (17-51) have the league’s worst record, so the priority is developing prospects like rookies Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun.

Fortunately, with the NCAA Tournament and March Madness (bracket) just around the corner, there is some more competitive basketball that Houston fans can enjoy — and with connections to the Rockets.

Next season, as a result of their on-court struggles, the Rockets are set to have at least two new rookies joining their young core. Houston owns their own first-round draft pick in 2022, as well as one from Brooklyn as a result of the January 2021 blockbuster trade for James Harden.
