After a somewhat slow start to their careers, the 2017 NBA draft class has become one that will looked back at as a strong one.

At first, it looked like just the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and maybe Donovan Mitchell would be All-NBA-level performers from this class but over recent seasons, the likes of De’Aaron Fox, Bam Adebayo and Lauri Markkanen have turned into All-Stars, making this a strong draft class. Even Boston’s Derrick White has developed into a far-above-average starter.

To see how solid and deep this draft class is, just scroll to the bottom of this re-draft and check out some of the names we picked among the 30 best players from that year.

The 2016 class boasts nine players who were undrafted going in the Top 30 of this re-draft, including two in the Top 14.

Some of the players who cracked this Top 30 aren’t even in the NBA at the moment and some that are could very well be playing overseas within a year or two.

The 2014 NBA draft is a fascinating one to look back at, with two centers and multiple-time finishers in 1st and 2nd of MVP races leading the way. One of them, however, was a second-round pick, making his career especially interesting.

Overperforming second-round picks is a theme in this re-draft, as multiple players who went after the Top 30 have found their way onto the first round in this list.
