Draft picks

Main article: 2026 NBA draft

Round	Pick	Player	Position	Nationality	College
2	39	Jack Kayil	PG	Germany	Alba Berlin (Germany)
2	53	Ugonna Onyenso	C	Nigeria	Virginia

The Rockets entered the draft holding two second-round selections, including the 39th pick that was originally owned by the Chicago Bulls and acquired from the Washington Wizards in a 2025 trade. Their first-round selection was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the 2019 deal involving Russell Westbrook as it fell outside the top-4 protection when Houston qualified for the 2026 NBA playoffs. Upon transfer, another condition from a February 2026 trade was triggered to route the pick to the Philadelphia 76ers after Houston finished the 2025–26 season between Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers.

They used the selections to draft Jack Kayil and Ugonna Onyenso, then traded their draft rights to the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons, respectively, as part of a four-team draft-night trade. In return, they acquired the draft rights to the 31st pick, Bruce Thornton, and cash considerations.
