NBA Mock Draft 2017: Fultz & Ball Are Top 2 Picks

No. 8 Minnesota Timberwolves: SF Jayson Tatum


School: Duke


Position: Small Forward


Size: 6'8"/205 pounds


Class: Freshman


2016-17 Stats: 15.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1.3 spg, 1.3 bpg. .439 FG%, .352 3P%


Outlook: After missing the beginning of the season with an injury, Tatum has started to heat up. He could really benefit from a strong performances in the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. Tatum has had a few noteworthy performances over the last few weeks. He had 28 points and eight rebounds against Virginia on February 15. He had another well-rounded outing against Syracuse on February 22 where he posted 19 points, 13 rebounds and six assists against the Orange. Minnesota has plenty of talent so fans can expect them to likely go with the best player available. With two young point guards on the roster, that could be the one position the T-Wolves look to avoid if all things are equal. (Getty)
