NBA draft 2017

The mosT concerned topic worldwide recently is the NBA draft 2017 on 22nd June. With some of the talented players and teams with young fellows, some super teams may appear few years later. Let's have a look on the young talents:

1. Markelle Fultz
   PG 6'4" 195lbs
   NBA comparison: James Harden
2. Lonzo Ball
   PG 6'6" 190lbs
   NBA comparison: Jason Kidd
3. Jayson Tatum
   SF 6'8" 204lbs
   NBA comparison: Danny Granger
4. Josh Jackson
   SF 6'8" 203lbs
   NBA comparison: Jimmy Butler
5. De'aaron Fox
   PG 6'4" 171lbs
   NBA comparison: John Wall

This passage will focus on the 76ers and Celtics as they are the most concerned teams in this draft.

The result of the mock draft is shown above. It is no doubt that the 76ers will select Fultz so to combine Fultz, Simmons and Embiid to form a future big 3. If anyone remember the NBA comparison of Embiid and Simmons, they were compared to Tim Duncan and Lebron James. Embiid has already shown his dominance last year with limited time. Although both of them were bothered by injury last season, Simmons has trained his body well as we can see how he develop his muscle. Let's imagine with Lebron James, Tim Duncan and James Harden, how many champions the team can get?

As for Celtics, it is obvious that they will choose between Josh Jackson and Jayson Tatum as Josh Jackson didn't workout with Celtics. The main problem of Celtics is they do not have a playmaker other than Thomas. Jayson Tatum will help in this. Obviously Celtics is aiming immediate power to change the dominance of cavaliers in the east. With Jayson Tatum, the reliance on Thomas during offense will be greatly reduced. The defensive power of Crowder will compensate the lack of defensive consistency of Tatum. However, there's also a doubt that whether this combination can beat LeBron in short time. But Celtics will definitely be the most competitive opponent in the East for the Cavs.
