Projected 2K17 Rating: 71

Henry Ellenson was projected to go higher in the draft and the Pistons got a great break when he fell to them at 18. He’s a bit of a project and at the young age of 19 years old, he’s got room to grow. He probably won’t play much early in the season but may earn a bigger cut of minutes if he plays well as the season goes on.

Gbinije is coming off an offseason in which he played for the Nigerian men’s basketball team in the Rio Olympics and played four years in college, mostly with Syracuse. He’s able to play the one, two and three spots and guard those same positions as well. He has versatility and length for a point guard at 6’7″, and the size considerations may have more real-world implications than they do for a virtual 2K world.
