The 2017 NBA Draft seemingly marks the day that the 2017-18 season begins for the 29 teams that didn’t win the NBA Finals.
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers became the latest team to join the Chicago Bulls and the other 28 teams that didn’t hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy at season’s end after a five-game series defeat to the reigning champion Golden State Warriors.
As for those Bulls, they’ll have two selections to make on Thursday night in Brooklyn at No. 16 and No. 38 overall in the draft. Last year brought them Denzel Valentine and Paul Zipser.
