This week marks the beginning of the NCAA's annual men's basketball tournament, known best as March Madness (bracket).For the young and rapidly improving Rockets (33-35), who own Brooklyn's probable lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft, it brings even more hope for the future (Houston's 8-1 record in March indicates a roster that features significant promise, already).There's even a small chance that Houston could land two lottery picks. While the Rockets will likely lose their own first-round draft pick to Oklahoma City, it's worth noting that unlike the Brooklyn swap, the conveyance of Houston's pick is top-four protected.So, will a potential selection (or two) by the Rockets be playing in the NCAA's flagship event for hoops?
