With training camps set to begin in a little less than a month, teams and their players will soon have their opportunity to prove themselves during the 2017-18 NBA season. For the 2017 NBA Draft class, it will be their first chance to make their marks in the league.
This past draft class, headlined by Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball, was lauded as one of the deepest ones in recent years and some have already made waves with their performances during NBA Summer League.

Watching the newest rookie class struggle with some of the questions is entertaining, but goes to show just how young they are.
Most of them have been pegged as franchise cornerstones for the teams that drafted them and the new season will be a major factor in determining whether or not they can live up to such lofty expectations.
With the Golden State Warriors' dominant-run still in full effect, the rookies represent a chance for franchises to rebuild in the meantime. While it is hard to project what each one will look like down the line, it should still be fun to watch them grow and develop as professionals.
