The 2017 NBA draft was one of the most hyped up classes in recent years. However, it seems like the majority of the top picks have underperformed…drastically. What’s going on with them? Hope you enjoy!
I make all kinds of NBA videos which include trivia, analysis, player stories, countdowns, conspiracies, and mysteries. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

In 2023 Lauri become all star ,Fultz reviving his career, but lonzo almost got career ending injury
The clear best player from this class (in any order) were Tatum, Swipa, Spida, Bam and Markkanen and the first 4 I just mentioned (fun factoid) took part in the 2023 All-Star Game and took part in the 2023 Playoffs too especially Fox who went off against the then-defending champion Warriors despite his Kings losing in 7 games to which I picked the Kings and I don't regret it and Markkanen just had an All-Star year in 2023 with the Jazz.
What if I were to tell you draft night Lauri Markenan would be an all star starter
Ugh you’re just the best YouTuber that does this type of content . I can’t watch anyone else but you .
2 years later, this class is looking way better. 6 allstars so far. Crazy value in late picks like Jarrett Allen, O.G Anunoby, Kyle Kuzma, Derrick White and Josh Hart in the 22-30 range. Many players taking jumps like Lauri and Monk.
6-11 list be looking a lot better. An allstar in Lauri, Monk revitalize his career and been a key component to the Kings success, and 4 other players still on nba rosters.
this class is now meeting those expectations ngl, save for the number 1,2, and 4
Lauri definitely proved this video wrong
Man and 3 years later, Lauri Markkanen became an all star reserve
And now Lauri is balling for the Jazz
It also didn’t help DSJ that Coach Rick had bad blood with him. Like everyone was appalled at how bad he treated Dennis and it was his treatment toward Dennis that led to Luka starting to hate Coach Rick which ended up with him being let go. Luka wanted to believe that Dennis could work and players did too.
Lonzo is good now
Don’t disrespect Tatum like this.
Malik playin good this szn
lonzo been givin off the 'bust' vibe since day 1
Zo has improved so much since this video came out
Lanzo ball is the 3rd best not bam
As a mavs fan i was disappointed dennis smith jr didn't work but hey jalen brunson was a nice plan b in the next draft
Well you were wrong about Malik Monk. He shined with the Lakers and proved what he’s made of given the right situation and consistent minutes. The rest I agree. Lonzo Ball’s been plagued by injuries but has shown flashes of an improved 3 pointer.
I remember this draft class well because it was first year is really started to follow NBA and damn they turned out preety badly :/
