NBA Mock Draft 2017: Updated Order & 1st-Round Predictions as NCAA Tournament Starts

10. Minnesota Timberwolves Select Robert Williams, PF/C, Texas A&M


Year: Freshman


Williams, who boasts an incredible 7-foot-4 wingspan and swatted 2.5 blocks in just 25.8 minutes per game this season, is an obvious potential difference-maker on defense. But what makes him especially compelling as a prospect is how he improved his offensive game down the stretch, averaging 14.5 points and 10.9 rebounds over his last 10 games.

Going for 20 and 13 against Kentucky's NBA-talent-laden roster in early March went a long way in establishing this stud as a lottery pick. (Getty)
