The 2017-2018 class of NBA rookies was one for the ages, both in term’s of talent at the top and overall depth. The seasons put together by Ben Simmons (yes for the purpose of this exercise we are calling him a rookie) Donovan Mitchell, and of course Boston’s Jayson Tatum were bordering on historic. It was Simmons who ultimately took home Rookie of the Year honors but the debate over who will go on to have the best NBA career rages on.
Former ESPN Basketball analyst J.A. Adande says Tatum is the one he’d hitch his wagon to.
