In our latest 2017 NBA Mock Draft, we have De’Aaron Fox going to the Suns at No. 2, but only because we believe there will be a trade in the top three on or before draft day involving the Lakers. The Lonzo Ball rumblings are no longer just rumblings. They are Stephen A. Smith vs. Lavar Ball –style screams. Magic Johnson seems hell-bent on nabbing Ball, even if it means giving up one of the three young studs the Lakers currently employ.
Looking further down the draft board, a point guard would seem like a logical pick for the Knicks at No. 7, but the talent of a player like a Jonathan Isaac (not to mention he’s a Bronx kid), may be too much for Phil Jackson to pass up.
