The 2017 regular season is all wrapped up and the NBA Playoffs are in full swing. There have been a lot of success stories from the 2017 rookie class, like Donovan Mitchell’s emergence as one of the leagues top young stars, Jason Tatum stepping up with injuries to Kyrie Irving and Gordon Heyward in Boston, and Kyle Kuzma taking over Los Angeles.
