While the prospect of trading for an established All-Star such as Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls or DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings is enticing, the possibility of garnering the Brooklyn Nets first-round selection in what is shaping up to be a fantastic draft class is an opportunity worthy of ecstasy. The Boston Celtics’ roster might be chock-full of backcourt options, however, they could create a gauntlet of guards with the prospects offered at the top of the 2017 draft class.
The prize of this summer’s selection process could be Markelle Fultz, an 18-year-old guard currently starring on a nightly basis for the Washington Huskies.
