Redrafting the 2017 NBA Draft Class 

No. 5 pick - Sacramento Kings select Lonzo Ball

LeBron James motivates Lonzo Ball after their first encounter of the season

The Sacramento Kings are looking for a point guard who can run the show for them. It is a tough choice for the front-office to make given LaVar Ball's presence on the sidelines, but eventually, the Kings settle on Lonzo Ball with their first-round draft pick for his all-around basketball ability and high IQ and feel for the game.

Despite compiling a historically bad shooting season for any player, Lonzo's transcendent ability to impact the game in a variety of understated, unnoticed ways sets him apart from every single rookie of this draft class. He has been one of the top playmakers in the league this season, dishing out 7.2 assists per game to rank 8th in the league.

He is also an elite rebounder at his size, nabbing 6.9 boards per game. Lonzo has also been the Lakers' best defender this season, averaging 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks and ranking 6th among all point guards in defensive win shares per game. One would expect him to develop into a true franchise player in the near future.
