The NBA Draft 2017 will shift the directions of many teams.
While the playoffs are alive and well for sixteen teams, the rest of the league is preparing for their draft selection. In the NBA Draft 2017, there are several solid prospects to choose from.
Not only that, but there are distinct style of play differences that teams can try to draft according to how they like to play. Lonzo Ball and Markelle Fultz are a great example of this at the point guard position.

So let’s predict the ten selections teams will make assuming that the order stays the same.
