Redrafting the 2017 NBA Draft Class 

No. 2 pick - Los Angeles Lakers select Jayson Tatum

Tatum splits the defense for a highlight reel dunk against the Pacers

It is important to remember that at this point, the Lakers still have D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov on their roster. The Los Angeles Lakers have been looking for a go-to scoring option with a consistent jump shot from mid-range and behind the arc. Thus, all they have to do at this point is wait for a dynamic wing player to fall into their laps.

Jayson Tatum fits the bill perfectly. He is one of the most aggressive players on either end of the floor among rookies, and thus far, he has displayed the composure, decision-making ability and timing of a seasoned veteran. He has led the Celtics in minutes this season, and with Kyrie Irving out until the second round of the playoffs, Tatum could end up being their go-to scorer.

Not too bad for a rookie, is it now?
