Additionally, ESPN set several NBA Draft streaming records on Thursday.
The Philadelphis 76ers will be a playoff team in 2018.
As the anticipation intensified and commissioner Adam Silver said the 76ers "were on the clock", fans at Barclays Center began chanting to express their excitement to another young piece being added to Philadelphia.
The guard was selected No. 1 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers after they completed a trade with the Boston Celtics. The team's first major battle will be to get everybody on the floor at the same time...without crutches or casts.
Fultz and Ball led a record-setting run of one-and-dones in the National Basketball Association draft, which received a jolt early in the first round when the Chicago Bulls traded Butler to the Minnesota Timberwolves. But, knowing that these players went in the first round gives me a sense of relief to why we struggled so much.
When he arrived for his workout, Fultz says the Sixers had a table filled with Chick-fil-a sandwiches waiting for him, and he respected that "they did their research".
The performance at Washington capped a meteoric rise on the amateur level for Fultz.

Six people are still being treated by three London hospitals following the disaster, with two in critical care, NHS England said. But Gould said experts who inspected the complex on Friday informed her they could not guarantee the tenants' safety.
"The last two years, I showed that", he said.
"It's insane, I couldn't ask for anything more, to be able to learn from (Johnson) every day is truly a blessing", Ball said. Ivan Rabb was projected as a sure-fire lottery pick before the 2016 draft, and wound up falling into the second round after returning to Cal for his sophomore season.
Fultz, 19, fits in nicely with Philadelphia's rebuilding programme. I think players around the National Basketball Association feel that as well and are going to be attracted to that energy here. He made $5.7 million in the first year of his rookie deal and $5.9 million last season. Simmons injured a foot in training camp and never played while the Sixers improved their win total by 18 games to 28. His ability to drive through the lane and assist young stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid made him a clear standout of the Draft.
Brooklyn who should have had the number one overall pick this year but traded it to the Celtics back in 2013, finally trade Brook Lopez who had been on the trading block for most of his Nets career. The Celtics used the No. 3 overall pick on Jayson Tatum out of Duke.
The second No. 1 pick actually signed with his team and played... in 17 games. Besides, the Trail Blazers were able to keep their final pick in the first round and went on to select Purdue standout Caleb Swanigan to shore up their frontcourt.
Jimmy Butler and Tom Thibodeau hope to rekindle their past.
At No. 8, the Knicks picked French point guard Frank Ntilikina, who heard a mix of cheers and boos from fans. He ranked in the 90th percentile of Division I on spot up shooting efficiency at 1.156 points per possession, per Synergy Sports.
