2017 NBA Draft Rankings by Position





Two months into the season there's not a clear #1 pick.  Right now I could make an argument for at least seven players going first depending on what the selecting team's biggest need is.  Here's the current rankings by position, not including anyone who didn't play either high school or college basketball in the U.S.
