Nike Basketball Rookies 2017

The annual NBA Draft is like a ripple in the hoops timeline, birthing new and promising scenarios for most of the NBA teams (sorry, Brooklyn Nets). This year, more so than any other year, seems to be sending off an even more immediate effect as we’ve already seen Boston trade away the first overall pick, while reports of other teams desperately trying to move up in the draft have tomorrow’s Draft completely uncertain. While we still don’t know what teams these future stars will play for, it’s been confirmed that Markelle Fultz, De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, Bam Adebayo, Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles, and Jonathan Isaac will all be part of Team Nike moving forward.

This announcement comes off the heels of yesterday’s big debut of REACT cushioning and the Hyperdunk 2017, so it’s already shaping up to be a busy Summer for Nike hoops.
