The 2017 NBA Draft is in the books, and 60 players will get their shot at being NBA stars. All draft picks aren't created equal, however, so we've graded every single selection
Some teams hit home runs and some teams, well, they completely missed the mark. Here is the complete list of grades for every draft pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Reid Forgrave analyzes each pick from Round 1 and Jack Maloney looks at each pick from Round 2.
1 | A | |
Sixers select: Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington The Process is complete. 76ers (potentially) now have most fearsome young trio in league. | ||
2 | A | |
Lakers select: Lonzo Ball, PG, UCLA Real Magic Johnson gets to mentor next Magic. Good for him to be in hometown? Won't matter. Stud. | ||
3 | A | |
Celtics select: Jayson Tatum, SF, Duke Perfect fit. Celtics need a scorer to take pressure off IT4 and Tatum is the most advanced scorer in draft. | ||
4 | A- | |
Suns select: Josh Jackson, SF, Kansas High-energy, athletic two-way player added to talented young roster. Not a great jump-shooter - yet. | ||
5 | A | |
Kings select: De'Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky Best 2-way point guard in stacked point-guard draft. Improve jumper and may be top player in draft. | ||
6 | A | |
Magic select: Jonathan Isaac, SF, Florida State Highest ceiling in draft. Great teammate, humble, hard-working, versatile, physical freak. | ||
7 | A- | |

Mavericks select: Dennis Smith Jr., PG, NC State | ||
