Markelle Fultz – G Washington

The clear No. 1 choice in the 2017 NBA Draft, Fultz was absolutely phenomenal with the Huskies.

Sure, Washington was awful, but Fultz was able to show off his skill set and solidify his place at the top of the draft order. There is no way that the Celtics decide to draft anyone else barring a trade, so I look forward to seeing Fultz learning behind Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, and others next season.
