Brooklyn Nets: 5 options for pick No. 22 in 2017 NBA Draft
By Evan Massey
1. O.G. Anunoby, SF/PF, Indiana
There is one player that stands out above the rest as a perfect fit for the Nets at No. 22. That player would be Indiana’s O.G. Anunoby.
Anunoby’s draft stock has fluctuated quite a bit throughout the draft process as well. Due to a knee injury that he suffered last season, some teams have begun shying away from him in this deep draft class. That being said, there are very few prospects who appear to have superstar potential on both ends of the court.
Brooklyn could use an athlete like Anunoby who can lock up on the defensive end of the court. He is also a top-notch slasher and will open up the offense for his teammates.
Anunoby averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds last season at IU. His numbers may not jump off the charts, but he has unlimited defensive potential and would be the perfect pick for the Nets. Draft Express’ latest mock draft has him going to Brooklyn at No. 22.
