We thought we knew how the top of the 2017 NBA Draft would go. One week ago, Boston was a lock to take Markelle Fultz with the No. 1 overall pick. The Celtics were ready to reap the benefits of trading Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets oh so many moons ago.
Instead, this week brought an important reminder that the Assocation can undergo a seismic shift overnight. Boston and the Philadelphia 76ers swapped the first and third selections in this year's draft, while the Lakers got rid of their young starting point guard to clear the way for a Big Baller.
