Complete 2017 NBA Draft Order: Updated
By Tyler Watts
The 2017 NBA Draft is happening on June 22. Today, we will take a look at the complete draft order of all 60 selections.
I mentioned last time I would be updating you if we any trades happened well that did not take long. The Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers pulled off a stunning trade involving the number one and three overall picks. Those two appear to be the only two selections affected this season, but it does have an impact on the entire draft.
I suspect Philadelphia will still take Markelle Fultz number one overall. Fultz is the consensus top player and has a well-rounded game that will fit well on that young Philadelphia squad. You can read our full prospect profile on Markelle Fultz here.
I suspect the Boston Celtics are in the hunt for a forward at pick three. They have a plethora of guard talent on their roster, so expect to see them selecting Josh Jackson, Jonathan Isaac, or Jayson Tatum with their pick. Depending on the player they choose that would create some huge ripple effects for the whole draft so stay tuned for more news.
Without Further ado, let us get down to the full updated draft order for June 22.

Final Thoughts
I figured I would add some pertinent information you might want to know here in the closing paragraphs. The Philadelphia 76ers has the most selections in the draft with five (including the number one overall selection after the trade) and four teams currently do not have a pick. Those four teams are the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, LA Clippers, and Golden State Warriors. The Sacramento Kings have three choices this season. The Kings’ current selections are five, ten, and 34 overall.
