Rockets select Isaiah Hartenstein with No. 43 pick

With the 43rd pick in Thursday's NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets selected German center Isaiah Hartenstein.

At 7-foot-1 with a 9-foot-1 standing reach, Hartenstein possesses one of the biggest bodies in this year's draft class. While his counting stats are far from eye-popping, the 19-year-old showed flashes of brilliance in the Lithuanian Basketball League this season, and has the potential to develop into a solid player on both ends of the floor.

However, Hartenstein remains extremely raw and is likely still a few years away from becoming a productive NBA big man. While he could eventually emerge as a competent stretch-five, Hartenstein has shot just 28.4 percent from deep for his career, making him mostly an afterthought on offense.
