WHAT HAPPENED to the 12 Players Drafted Before Donovan Mitchell?

Almost 7 years ago, one of the Best Players of the 2017 NBA Draft was selected 13th Overall, Donovan Mitchell. But how come 12 players were selected before him? Especially considering many top picks of the draft have disappointed thus far...

Markkanen's big turnaround was in Cleveland, Utah has been an extension of a trajectory that started there when they played him at the 3 alongside Mobley and Allen

[@noahscott8764]

miss him like crazy on the cavs. imagine if he was in george niangs role right now. albeit niang is playing great

[@kristinecooper3958]

​@noahscott8764 i definitely agree. He was amazing with us. I always make sure to go to the jazz games when they are in Cleveland.

[@jrg116]

Mitchell should've won rookie of the year

[@utahgeoff]

Came here to say exactly this. Robbed by one of the most over rated players too ever play in the NBA, who wasn't even a rookie. SMH

[@Daniel-qn9rw]

Imagine if Mitchell wasn't traded... Murray, Mitchell, and Jokic

[@tim.noonan]

Murray and Mitchell would be unplayable together. That backcourt would let a stiff breeze get to the rim.

[@cosmosware4780]

@@tim.noonanthey would also get to the rim at will

[@FadeHook23]

@@tim.noonanimagine if they kept Gobert. They’d be a multi championship team.

[@lizzosbelly]

@@tim.noonanbro watch the games, Mitchell is playing the best defense of his career right now

[@jowasijo]

@@tim.noonanwatch Cleveland games and pay attention to Spida on defense. He is actually way better then People give him credit for

Tatums is a freaking monster made multiple conf finals appearances and a finals appearance at such a young age just under 26yrs old dude is gonna win MVP for sure in the future

[@Kagemusha08]

Mitchell is an example of a bodytype distracting scouts from ability. Successful shooting guards are never that short, but his talent (plus insane wingspan) helped him buck the trend.

[@icychris__]

Btw Malik Monk wasn’t traded to the Lakers, he signed there in free agency

[@JustGoodGames.]

Lauri got it going in that season w the Cavs w the three big lineup.

[@Cavsallday86]

Yea I don't think this dude knew that or he just skipped it to save time

[@nhennessy6434]

Only player I'd rather have than Mitchell is Tatum. Fox and Markanen are honorable mentions.

[@CS-vx5ox]

Agreed. Although I’d still take Mitchell over Fox and Markanen, really close though

[@zaygreat5619]

What’s the music?

[@0...00..19]

I always though mitchell was dope from the beginning, have no idea how a talent like that could get traded so much

[@sk2825]

He’s my MVP offensive monster & leads league defensive win shares! Why isn’t he seriously in the convo?!

[@crixxalis]

Who oOoOO 😮😮😮 who is fultz?? No.1 pick really? Idk him, first time i heard his name.....76ers ??? I never see him playing in sixers 🤔🤔🤔

[@tigran8802]

Who was the 5th overall picked? Jackson or Fox?

[@zjones3853]

Fox

[@donalfonsoluis5149]

There were two 5th picks.

[@renzupsop]

Fox is 5th, Jackson is 4th

[@elitegaming7922]

You forgot about his time on the Cavs 🤦🏽‍♂️ Mark was really good with us

Amen

After watching this video it's clear there was a lot of talent in that draft. I'd call just two of the players taken ahead of DM as busts, several have had their careers derailed by the injury bug. As is often the case with videos like this, hindsight is 20/20.
