NBA Mock Draft 2017: Justin Jackson Lands in Lottery

No. 5 Philadelphia 76ers: SF Jayson Tatum


School: Duke


Position: Small Forward


Size: 6'8"/205 pounds


Class: Freshman


2016-17 Stats: 16.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 2.1 apg, 1.3 spg, 1.3 bpg. .452 FG%, .342 3P%


Outlook: Tatum has officially declared for the draft. "It's extremely exciting. It's just another step closer to a lifelong dream that I've always had and it's the next step and I'm happy to be taking it," Tatum told Scout.com. Tatum has the potential to be a go-to player for the team that selects him. The big question around Tatum is whether he will be able to create his shot at the next level like he did in college. Tatum has the best physical build of any of the top prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft. At 6'8" and 205 pounds, he has the height, length and weight to make him NBA-ready as soon as he is drafted. A trio of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Tatum would be scary good. (Getty)
