With their first of three first round picks in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Lonzo Ball from UCLA. After a strong season at UCLA, Ball came into the draft as one of the best prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft.
After a trade shook up the top of the draft order, the Philadelphia 76ers ended up having the first pick. With that pick, the 76ers decided to take Markelle Fultz from Washington. Ball was then taken second, followed by Jayson Tatum.
Even after the top three picks, there was a lot of talent early on in the draft.
