NBA Draft

The dust has finally settled, and the 2017 NBA Draft has come and gone. This year’s draft was one of the most loaded in recent memory and could be fruitful for a good chunk of the league. With six potential stars in the draft, 20 percent of the league may have just added a vital piece to winning a championship.Note: The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards did not have a selection in the 2017 NBA Draft.Atlanta Hawks: B-John Collins, Tyler Dorsey, Alpha KabaThe Hawks' selection of John Collins makes…

With the draft in sight, it's time to take a look at potential landing spots for this year's top prospects. Fit, talent, and draft history of teams were all taken into account with this mock, which includes a franchise cornerstone at the top, an international riser falling out of the top 10, and a downtrodden franchise landing some serious upside. 1.

This is the year to need a guard in the top 10, and it would be no surprise to see six, if not seven, taken that early.All measurements…

We move forward with our NBA Draft prospect rankings this week, this time focusing on wings/forwards. These are players that you will usually find playing the three or the four in the NBA. When it comes to wings, this class is very top heavy. It features two potential superstars and then a drop off to players that will be starters in the NBA. With that said, the two I have at the top are two of the better players I have seen in recent years. Both have very high floors to go with high ceilings and the potential to be top 10 …

Although this draft class is touted as one of the best in recent memory, it’s lacking big men. This week, I’ll lay out my top-10 bigs with a small scouting report on each. The class may lack the elite talent in bigs, but it makes up for it in the depth of quality role players. Many of these guys will find a team and stick for a long time because they have one trait that puts them over the top. I will split this top-10 into tiers. First up, tier one.All measurements are from DraftExpress. Tier One These are players that…
