NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Spurs land Victor Wembanyama; Raptors jump into top 5
15. Houston Rockets (via LA Clippers) – Kris Murray, F, Iowa
With another first-round pick, the Houston Rockets could look to get a solid contributor that could help down the road once this team makes some tangible steps forward in the Western Conference.
And one of the more veteran-laden prospects with clear pro potential is Kris Murray. He is the older brother of current pro, Keegan Murray. He has the same scoring prowess as his young brother and is at least worth a roll of the dice in the first round.
16. Utah Jazz (via Minnesota) – Taylor Hendricks, F, UCF
With another first-round pick, the Utah Jazz will have the opportunity to add another talented prospect to their developmental core. One player that could be in play is Taylor Hendricks out of Central Florida.
Hendricks is a player that has worked his way up draft boards in recent months. And there’s at least a solid chance that he ends up being a lottery pick. However, the safe play is that he’s selected somewhere in the first round.
