The 2017 NBA Draft order is finally official, meaning draft analysts around the Internet can now unleash the first wave of mock drafts that actually matter. The Los Angeles Lakers landing the No. 2 pick has seemingly made projecting the draft very easy.
For now.
ESPN’s Chad Ford, Ricky O’Donnell of SB Nation, DraftExpress, USA Today, Gary Parrish of CBS Sports and certainly other mocks all have Lonzo Ball going to the Lakers with the No. 2 pick. It’s not exactly rocket science pegging Fultz to the Boston Celtics and the Lakers going with the Inland Empire product who’s been campaigning for LA to draft him.
