HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Rockets believe they got a steal by adding Southern California's De'Anthony Melton with the 46th pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday night - and they aren't worried about his off-court headlines.

Melton was drafted by the Rockets following a season in which he was ruled ineligible because of an extra benefits scandal.

"He's a guy that if he had played we feel pretty comfortable that he would have been a top-20 pick," general manager Daryl Morey said. "So that's why we were really happy to get him there. I think he was a little out of sight, out of mind."
