Complete 2017 NBA Draft Order: Updated following Wizards, Pelicans swap
By Tyler Watts
The NBA Draft is happening on June 22. Today, we will take a look at the complete draft order of all 60 selections following the Wizards and Pelicans trade.
We only saw one deal on the eve of the draft, and it was a small one compared to the two on June 20. I am here to give you the updated order following the trade though.
The trade saw the New Orleans Pelicans shipping out backup point guard Tim Frazier for pick 52 overall in the draft. This move gives the Wizards a backup for John Wall on their roster, and the Pelicans receive their second pick in round two.
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 have the most selections in the draft with five including the number one overall selection 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.
