Closing Thoughts

No matter who the Boston Celtics draft with the number one overall it shall be a surprise to everyone.

Everyone thinks they will draft Fultz, yet I think they will draft a player no one sees coming. For example, Ball or Markkanen would be a shocker to all of the NBA world.

All three of these surprise players in my 2017 NBA Mock Draft for the number one overall pick are shockers in themselves to land in Boston. The Celtics have kept their eyes opened to the 2017 NBA Draft class.

Therefore, no one but the font office for sure knows who they are going to select. During the off-season they are to have voids to fill.

Also, they could even surprise us by trading the number one overall pick. They could trade the pick if they unless they select what hey think is the best athlete in the draft.

Lonzo Ball would be the future for Boston backing up Isaiah Thomas. Leaf would become a good sixth man of the year candidate with his ability and play making skills.

Markkenen would change how opponents guard the team not just him, but the Celtics as a whole team. He would change the game by possibly becoming one of the best centers ever with his ability to shoot the three ball.

Therefore, the question really is which three of these players will surprise us all and be drafted number one overall?
