In this story:

Former Auburn forward and number three overall all-pick Jabari Smith is a member of the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets were one of the four teams in the "Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes," also referred to as the NBA Lottery.

Wembanyama is a seven-foot-five unicorn who will be the number-one pick in the NBA Draft this year.

After the lottery was drawn and the Rockets got the fourth pick Wembanyama let out a sigh of relief which Smith did not appreciate.

Smith put the taking notes emoji, implying he's going to remember how Wembanyama reacted when he found out he wouldn't be heading to H-Town.

The San Antonio Spurs received the first pick and will select Wembanyama first overall unless someone trades to get the pick and Wembanyama.

According to many reports, the Rockets are frontrunners to land James Harden, meaning that Smith's team could have a good season next year.

The Rockets are young with a ton of talent, so a veteran like Harden could get this team to the playoffs.

Let's take a look at Smith's reaction to Wembanyama realizing he would be avoiding Houston and some funny videos people put on Twitter relating to the situation.
