Fantasy Basketball 2017/18: 10 Players to draft in Round 3

2017 NBA Finals - Game One
Two conference champions - Draymond Green and Kevin Love should be your primary targets in round 3

#3 Gordan Hayward/F-G/Boston Celtics:

Boston Celtics Introduce Kyrie Irving
Gordon Hayward

It took a lot of drama and time from Hayward before he announced his new team in the NBA offseason. Eastern Conference top seed Celtics were his chosen team. He will get to work with his former college basketball head coach Brad Stevens and 2016 NBA champion Kyrie Irving.

He comes into this season with a career-high in points (21.9 per game) and rebounds (5.6 per game), while providing his teammates with 3.5 assists per game. Production-wise, don't expect too much of a drop-off this season, though playing alongside a high-usage point guard in Irving could take the ball out of Hayward's hands a bit more often.

He should be able to more than supplement any decline in PPG in a rise in both rebounds and assists. You're looking at a player entering the prime of his career with as much help as ever, a Top-20 finish is a possibility.
