Wondering who the top 10 players heading to the 2017 NBA Draft under 20 years old are? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.

The 2017 NBA Draft is just a bit over a month away, and everyone is trying to figure out who their favorite team might draft.

This is an even bigger topic of discussion at the moment because the NBA Draft lottery was last night. You can read more about that over at FanSided here, but it went pretty much how we expected for every team except the New York Knicks.

One trend, however, that has appeared over the last decade or so in the NBA is the desire for teams to draft younger players over older players. The logic here is that even if a younger player isn’t ready to be a star in the NBA now the potential is still there to develop when it might not be with older players.

Some agree with this ideology, and some don’t. However, either way, there is still a growing number of players under 20 who are deciding to declare for the NBA Draft each season.

Also, it should be noted that, since this is a college basketball focused site, I will be omitting international players. The good news is that Belgian point guard Frank Ntilikina is the only international player who would have made this list, and you can read all about him here from our friends over at BehindTheBuckPass.com.

Here are the top 10 players in the 2017 NBA Draft who are under 20 years old.
