With right around a month in a half left in the college basketball season, there's still not a clear cut #1 pick for the 2017 NBA Draft. The selecting team's roster would play a big part in who I'd pick first overall, and I think as many as six or seven players would be in the conversation. Lonzo Ball's leadership and propensity for delivering in the game's biggest moments gives him a slight edge at this point in the season.
