The Finals wrapped up just two short weeks ago, but already the NBA is back to grab your attention. The 2017 draft starts tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn at 7 o'clock (ET), when Commissioner Adam Silver officially puts the Philadelphia 76ers on the clock.

What happens next won't be a surprise: With the first pick, the Sixers will choose Markelle Fultz, a point guard out of Washington. This could, could make the Sixers a good team even next year, if Fultz coheres well with Philadelphia's existing young core of 2016 first-overall pick Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric. But just about nothing has gone right in Philly for a long time, so we'll wait and see on that.

At No. 2, the Lakers will almost certainly choose Lonzo Ball, another point guard who's also a Los Angeles native who played one year at UCLA. (He also has an interesting father, in case you haven't heard.)

Just about every mock draft agrees on those two picks. After that, though, it's anyone's guess. The Celtics have the third pick (which they acquired after trading the top overall choice to the Sixers), and they seem equally likely to trade that pick as they are to use it on Duke's Jayson Tatum or Kansas's Josh Jackson. Or someone else, the Celtics are unpredictable like that.
