#3: Houston Rockets select Donovan Clingan 

This is a pick I expect to be traded and don’t be surprised if Memphis is the team that eventually swoops in here to make it, as they are reportedly high on Clingan. 

But if the Rockets make the pick, adding a smothering paint presence to the young talent they already have makes sense. 

Clingan and Alperen Sengun would be a lethal offensive/defensive duo who could be deployed in a lot of ways around their collection of jumbo wings.
