Redrafting the 2017 NBA Draft Class 

No. 3 pick - Boston Celtics select Kyle Kuzma

Kuzma turned in a game-winning performance against the Celtics in January

At this point in the draft, the Celtics have a number of scoring options to pick from. And yet, picking a power forward who can also play at the shooting guard position for short spans of the game with his skillset looks like their best bet, which is why Kyle Kuzma ends up on the Celtics roster.

Kuzma has emerged as the biggest steal of the 2017 NBA draft, bar none. He has been an absolute revelation for the Lakers, scoring 20 or more points on 23 occasions so far despite mostly coming off the bench. His best game of the season was a 38-point performance against the Houston Rockets on 20th December, when the reeling Lakers managed to stop the Rockets' 16-game winning streak.

Kuzma has a well-rounded offensive game. He can stop on a dime and pull up for a jump shot from anywhere on the court, including the 3-point line from where he's converting 36.5% of his looks. But he can also drive into the paint and score off floaters, runners, and layups. His per-game averages of 16.0 points and 6.3 rebounds are highly impressive for a bench player in any year, let alone a rookie. Expect him to be an important part of the Lakers' rebuilding process in the future.
