Houston Rockets big man Christian Wood has been a mainstay in trade rumors for almost his entire tenure with the team. Could the 2022 NBA Draft seal his fate?

After all, the Rockets are poised to select third. That means they’ll likely select whoever remains between Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero, and Jabari Smith Jr. Each of those players is likely to step on Wood’s toes.
