Instead, they moved down and wound up with Jayson Tatum.
Markelle Fultz is a self-described hard worker and that diligence paid dividends Thursday (Friday in Manila) as the Philadelphia 76ers made him the first overall pick in the 2017 National Basketball Association entry draft. Phoenix Suns - Josh Jackson 5.
The Philadelphia 76ers selected Fultz with the top pick Thursday night at Barclays Center, doing so less than a week after acquiring the pick from the Boston Celtics.
As for the idea that Embiid might be able to play in back-to-back games and not on a minutes restriction after dealing with both previous year, Brown replied, "I think that's ambitious".
Brown, who got his feet wet as a roleplayer for the Celtics this past season, with 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17:14 minutes of action per game as a rookie, is known as an athletic project that could turn into a monster at the National Basketball Association level if and when his shot comes along with the rest of his game.
In Minnesota, three-time All-Star Butler, 27, will reunite with coach Tom Thibodeau and join centre Karl-Anthony Towns, 21, to create one of the best duos in the league.

A 7-footer from Finland, Markkanen gives the Bulls a shooter they lacked last season. Dunn is coming off an atrocious rookie season, during which he averaged 3.8 points.
The first seven players chosen in the NBA Draft on Thursday night were freshmen. He knows the players he's building around, as well as how their talents mesh on the floor. [I'll be] a versatile big man who can either play the four or the five, who's great at passing the ball, who has a high IQ and is a great teammate.
The Bulls basically got a nice shooting 7-footer and two enormous question marks in exchange for an affordable perennial All-Star who wanted to be in Chicago. Sacramento Kings - Justin Jackson 16. "And I'm just looking forward to going in there and giving it my all and hopefully changing the program around".
While free agency could further shift the projections for this Philadelphia team moving forward, here's an early stab at who may - or in some ways, who should - be starting next season. He landed in a solid situation with the Memphis Grizzlies at No. 35 (after a trade from the Orlando Magic), and should fit in well there, but that's a big-time fall. His defense during his one year at Kentucky helped the Wildcats to shut down opposing offenses. There's a lot of work that still needs to be done here. The Knicks deserve a lower grade based on the fact that not many foreign players are superstars in this league, and the sharpshooters in college never pan out. Although he has a 6-10 wingspan he is not known for his defense. Oh, and he had just 5.4 percent body fat.
However, the Dallas Mavericks started the freshmen trend over again with the No. 9 pick selecting freshmen Dennis Smith voted the freshmen of the year in the ACC.
