The 2017 NBA Draft has the potential to go down as one of the more memorable drafts in recent years. Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball are starting to grow as the consensus No. 1 and No. 2 picks, with players like De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, Jason Tatum, and TJ Leaf rounding out the first round.
However, there are other major names from the college basketball landscape that are projected to be picked later in the draft. What sets these players apart is that they will have great opportunities to have successful NBA careers, unlike many second-round picks.
Oregon forward Jordan Bell is projected to be picked early on in the second round.
