The Houston Rockets have selected Chinese big man Zhou Qi with the 43rd pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
Make no mistake, Zhou is something of a project for the Rockets. The 7-foot-2 center only weighed in at 218 pounds at May's draft combine. Still, the raw skill is there: the 20-year-old possesses a soft touch around the basket and has one of the longest wingspans (7-foot-7) ever recorded in a NBA pre-draft setting.
Zhou averaged almost 16 points, 10 rebounds, and a league-leading 3.2 blocks per game in the Chinese Basketball Association last season.
