Widely acknowledged as one of the deepest talent pools in years, the 2017 NBA draft saw a host of standout collegiate and international players selected in the first round, but all signs point to Ogugua "OG" Anunoby being the steal of the year.

Selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 23rd pick, the 6'8" forward from Indiana University was a lock to be a top five pick, but an ACL injury in January ended his sophomore season and precipitated his slide down draft boards.

While he has played a few pre-season minutes this month, slowly finding his post-injury feet, he's estimated to fully return in November, with Raptors' staff getting antsy in anticipation.
