2017 State Draft Report: Pennsylvania

CROP RATING
updated_state_rating_five_star Solid, not spectacular
Rating compares this year’s group to what a state typically produces, not to other states

The Quaker State doesn’t have a top-of-the-draft talent this year, but Pennsylvania typically churns out a number of players who go on to become top draft picks out of college. This year’s class includes several players who did just that, with Louisville’s Brendan McKay, Arizona’s J.J. Matijevic and Chipola (Fla.) JC’s Andrew Bechtold all having developed into better draft prospects than they were in high school.
