The final week of June is a busy one for Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone, who will have approximately $60 million and more available to potentially spend in 2023 free agency. Agreements can officially be reached starting at 5 p.m. Central on Friday, June 30.
But for now, he’s happy to reflect on what is being viewed around the NBA as an extremely successful draft night for the Rockets. Houston added guard Amen Thompson (the No. 4 pick in the first round) and Cam Whitmore (No. 20) to its emerging core of young talent.
