2017 NBA re-draft: The way it should have been

- by ,

After a somewhat slow start to their careers, the 2017 NBA draft class has become one that will looked back at as a strong one.

At first, it looked like just the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and maybe Donovan Mitchell would be All-NBA-level performers from this class but over recent seasons, the likes of De’Aaron FoxBam Adebayo and Lauri Markkanen have turned into All-Stars, making this a strong draft class. Even Boston’s Derrick White has developed into a far-above-average starter.

To see how solid and deep this draft class is, just scroll to the bottom of this re-draft and check out some of the names we picked among the 30 best players from that year.

No. 1 pick: Jayson Tatum

Julio Cortez/Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports

NBA champion Jayson Tatum has a bit of an old-school game with a new-school twist, as he loves mid-range jumpers and facing up foes on the perimeter, though he shoots the three-ball well enough that he remains very efficient for an elite-level scorer such as himself. Throughout his career in Boston, Tatum’s defense and shot selection have improved, turning him into the impactful high-level scorer he is today.

No. 2 pick: Donovan Mitchell

Chris Nicoll-USA TODAY Sports

The late lottery in 2017 is where teams truly struck gold, as is the case with both Donovan Mitchell and the next player in this re-draft. Mitchell had a lot of potential coming out of college, displaying explosive finishing ability near the rim to go with his freakish wingspan and great quickness, though looked a bit raw skill-wise, shooting under 33 percent from three over two years at Louisville. However, Mitchell started to impress teams in the pre-draft process with his shooting after having already shown improved shooting in his sophomore season in college.

No. 3 pick: Bam Adebayo

Michael Laughlin-USA TODAY Sports

One of the very best American centers in basketball today, Bam Adebayo has developed from being just a catch-and-finish lob threat in college to a uniquely versatile big man today for Miami, one who can grab a rebound and bring the ball down the floor to run the offense, who can pull-up and shoot it from the short midrange and who can still finish at a high level out of the pick-and-roll or as a lob target. That’s not to mention his defense, where Adebayo also shines, as the former Wildcat can legitimately defend all five positions thanks to his incredibly quick feet for his size.

No. 4 pick: De'Aaron Fox

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

Coming out of college at Kentucky, De’Aaron Fox was thought of as a potential John Wall 2.0, an athletic marvel with lightning-quick speed and elite finishing ability, though with poor shooting touch. Fox has more or less lived up to that, with his outside shooting remaining inconsistent, which is masked by how special he is in other regards, both athletically and as a playmaker.

No. 5 pick: Jarrett Allen

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

A lack of skill as a scorer and passer caused Jarrett Allen to fall a bit in his draft class, going in the early 20s, a place he has far exceeded so far with his NBA contributions. Allen is one of the best rebounders in the league and a top-notch finisher out of the pick-and-roll, an athletic menace who can also protect the paint quite well and crash the glass on offense.

No. 6 pick: Lauri Markkanen

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports

Had we done this exercise earlier in his career, Lauri Markkanen would have fared far more poorly, as the Finnish big looked like a bit of a disappointment early on in his career with the Bulls. However, a change of scenery and an offseason that saw him guide Finland to an impressive Eurobasket showing seemingly jump-started Markkanen’s ascent, where he now resides as one of the league’s top young floor-spacing big men. Markkanen isn’t just a floor-spacer, either, as he has the skill to dribble and shoot or attack the basket and finish with aplomb around the rim. A shame for Bulls fans that the franchise wasn’t more patient with the now-blossoming forward.

No. 7 pick: Derrick White

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

Derrick White’s journey to the NBA is actually an interesting one, as he actually spent three seasons playing at the D-II level in college before transferring to Colorado for his final year of eligibility, which probably scared some teams from using a higher draft pick on him despite his impressing in his lone season as a Buffalo behind averages of 18.1 points, 4.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks. White isn’t a star but he’s a two-way force in the backcourt.

No. 8 pick: Kyle Kuzma

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports

The Lakers had a run of impressive late first-round picks for a stretch, with one of the top players to come of that being Kyle Kuzma, an integral part in the team’s 2019-20 championship run. Kuzma has developed even more since leaving the Lakers and joining the Wizards, putting up good numbers as a stretch-4 with ball-handling ability.

No. 9 pick: Josh Hart

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Even after an illustrious college career at Villanova, one that saw him win a national title, be named a consensus 1st Team All-American and a two-time All-Big East player, Josh Hart fell to the bottom of the first round. Be it due to lack of size for his position or being a bit of a tweener, Hart slipped on the draft night anyway, something that the former Wildcat has made look bad in hindsight with his play in the NBA. Hart is a very solid role player in the league, a high-level rebounder for a guard who can knock down open threes and guard various positions on the other end.

No. 10 pick: OG Anunoby

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

A torn ACL 16 games into his second season at Indiana led to OG Anunoby slipping in his draft class all the way to 23rd overall, which looks quite silly in hindsight. Anunoby is one of the league’s top two-way swingmen, one who can shoot the ball from the outside well and defend opposing ball-handlers and wings at a high level.

No. 11 pick: John Collins

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports

John Collins has more or less been an above-average starter for years now at the 4-spot, a modern big man who can shoot it from the outside and dribble to attack the paint. One of the league’s truly impressive high-flyers, it’s defensively where he struggles, as Collins’ impact on that end of the floor doesn’t match his physical abilities. His offense has also taken a hit over recent seasons, as Collins hasn’t been able to go from solid starter to All-Star despite his potential.

No. 12 pick: Dillon Brooks

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

One of many mid-second-round picks in the 2017 class who turned out to be better pros than expected, Dillon Brooks leads the pack in this regard, going from non-first-rounder to No. 12 in our re-draft thanks to his very tenacious, pesky defense and solid scoring. Brooks may have his flaws – primarily, he has never seen a shot attempt he didn’t want to pursue – but he’s been a vital piece on a few impressive teams thanks to his two-way impact.

No. 13 pick: Malik Monk

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

While at Kentucky, Malik Monk was one of the most exciting college players there was to watch, with an explosive scoring ability thanks to deep shooting range, a quick first step and impressive leaping prowess. And though it has taken a while, we finally started to see more of that Monk over recent seasons, as Monk has gotten a good amount of Sixth Man of the Year votes without actually winning the award.

No. 14 pick: Lonzo Ball

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

It may not be in the manner many expected it to be, but Lonzo Ball, prior to his current long injury-related layoff, developed into an effective starting point guard thanks to his defense even moreso than his offense. Ball’s quick hands and feet, and his great instincts on that end, helped him turn into one of the league’s impactful defenders at the lead-guard spot. Ball’s offensive contributions were solid, too, as the Anaheim native turned into a reliable outside shooter, a great hit-ahead passer and a player who could run an offense. He’s disappointed in comparison to his draft position of No. 2 overall but Ball is still a solid starting point guard when he’s out there. Here’s hoping we get to see Ball back out on the hardwood soon, though it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen him out there.

No. 15 pick: Jonathan Isaac

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports

Receiving comparisons to Kevin Durant as a prospect, as is the norm for so many supersized wings with even a modicum of shooting ability, Jonathan Isaac hasn’t lived up to the expectations of a former No. 6 pick, and that has mostly been due to injuries. Still, Isaac is an elite defender with great shot-blocking and passing-lane jumping, so his career hasn’t been a total letdown despite the injuries.

No. 16 pick: Isaiah Hartenstein

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports

A mid-second-round pick in 2017, Isaiah Hartenstein has done well to outperform his draft slot to this point in his career, using toughness, good screen-setting and a willingness to do the dirty work down low to be a solid big man for the Knicks. He’ll never put up huge numbers but Hartenstein can finish around the cup and out of the pick-and-roll, block shots and make winning plays.

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

A sharpshooting 2-guard with better playmaking and burst than he’s given credit for, Luke Kennard hasn’t fully lived up to his draft position of No. 12 overall, but he’s carved out a very solid career as a role player so far, shooting 43.9 percent from three for his career, even leading the league in outside shooting in 2021-22 at 44.9 percent.

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports

Another undrafted-to-NBA-rotation-player success story, Chris Boucher developed into a solid backup big man, one who filled the important archetype of shot-blocking floor-spacer out of the frontcourt. His consistency can be lacking at times but when he’s out there, Boucher usually makes a decent-enough impact within his role.

A torn ACL slowed down Thomas Bryant’s development at an inopportune time, forcing the former Hoosier to be on a minimum contract now, in what should be his prime. A high-energy play-finisher who can even space the floor a bit, Bryant has outperformed his actual draft position even despite missing just over one year of action due to the aforementioned injury.

No. 20 pick: Monte Morris

Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports

Lack of size and athleticism scared teams out of using a higher draft pick on Monte Morris despite a collegiate career that saw him earn All Big-12 honors three times in four years. Morris has proven the doubters wrong, becoming a starter in the NBA at one point thanks to his steady playmaking and shooting, as well as his very clean style of play. Morris is one of the safest players in the league, turning the ball over just 0.8 times nightly in his career, a preposterously low rate.

No. 21 pick: Markelle Fultz

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports

One of the most unfortunate tales of this entire draft class, and there are a few, Markelle Fultz was thought to be an excellent prospect coming out of Washington – an athletic, long guard who could score from all three levels, rebound and create, as well as defend. Fultz even got some comparisons to James Harden before getting to the NBA. Well, as we all know by now, a change to his shooting form prior to playing a game for the 76ers completely stunted Fultz’s early development, a hole he has only recently started to come out of. Even further derailing Fultz’s chances of living up to his potential was a major knee injury suffered as a member of the Magic. To his credit, Fultz has become at least a decent low-end starter, high-end backup type now in Orlando.

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Once an elite prospect, Dennis Smith Jr. parlayed an impressive one-and-done college career that saw him average 18.1 points and 6.2 assists at NC State into being the ninth-overall pick in 2017. Smith Jr. received comparisons to Russell Westbrook coming out, a freak athlete at point guard who was a load to try and slow down once he got a head of steam going. Unfortunately for Smith, knee problems, a lack of skill development and poor feel for the game have forced him into a backup job at this point in his career. To his credit, he has managed to stick it out thanks to changing his game to focus his athleticism on defense.
