Podcast: Rockets’ future draft outlook, FIBA Dillon Brooks takeaways

How should #Rockets fans feel about their future NBA draft assets? Today’s @TheLagerLine explains why the value is potentially underrated.

Our latest episode of “The Lager Line” features insight on Houston’s future NBA draft outlook relative to other teams, and why it could be better than a recent Bleacher Report article believes.

The updated list of first- and second-round draft assets for the Rockets through 2030 is available here, and it includes both unprotected assets arriving from Brooklyn and protected picks that could go to Oklahoma City. As part of the podcast, hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves explain why understanding those protections is critically important, including for potential trade purposes.

Other discussion topics include takeaways from Dillon Brooks’ strong performance on Canada’s 2023 FIBA World Cup team, as well as the implications of Oklahoma City waiving former Rockets prospects Usman Garuba and TyTy Washington Jr. and what it tells fans about Rockets general manager Rafael Stone.

Today’s podcast, which is sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, can be listened to below in its entirety. Each episode of the show is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790 and all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
