Rockets set to select Ryan Conwell with No. 39 pick in mock draft

Summary

The Houston Rockets are projected to take Ryan Conwell, a guard from Louisville, with the No. 39 overall pick in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft. Conwell, who averaged 18.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in his senior season, has been noted for his shooting ability, holding a career average of 37.6% from three-point range. The Rockets, lacking a first-round pick due to a previous trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, will look to bolster their roster with their two second-round selections. Conwell, at age 22, is viewed as one of the most NBA-ready prospects available for Houston.
