2018 NBA Value
The Philadelphia 76ers are loaded in the NBA Draft for years to come. At least, that’s what we have told you. But in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers currently have their own first round pick. In the second round, the team has their second, that of either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Brooklyn Nets (guess Nets), and a second round pick from the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Clippers.

If the Los Angeles Lakers pick does not convey, that 2018 NBA first round draft pick is unprotected.
Right now, there is plenty of reason to be optimistic for that pick in 2018. Why?
There’s Gold In The 2018 NBA Draft Class
The 2018 NBA Draft class is as loaded in the front court as the 2017 NBA Draft is loaded in the back court. Right now, small forward Michael Porter Jr. leads a wave of talent into the ranks of NCAA men’s basketball for the 2017-2018 season.
The University of Kentucky boasts shooting guard Hamidou Diallo, center Nick Richards, power forward P.J. Washington, power forward Jarred Vanderbilt and point guard Quade Green. UCLA counters with small forward Kris Wilkes and point guard Jaylen Hands. Right now, that 2018 NBA Draft class looks every bit as deep as the 2017 NBA Draft class.
But what of the Lakers?
