"History suggests that No. 1 has the greatest odds of producing franchise-level talent and we are confident that this year's draft class has that very potential", Colangelo said. That first round pick will be either the 2019 Kings selection or the 2019 Sixers selection, whichever one is the higher pick, with one very important protection. "I think our games could help each other out a lot".
The Philadelphia 76ers have selected guard Markelle Fultz with the No. 1 pick in the National Basketball Association draft.
Los Angeles now holds the second and 28th picks in this year's draft. "I'm a big fan of them; they're fans of me, so we'll see how that plays out". If the Lakers are as bad as they were this year, the Celtics could draft in the top three for a third consecutive year.
If the Sixers do end up drafting Fultz their starting lineup will consist of him, Simmons, Robert Covington, Joel Embiid and either Dario Saric or Jahlil Okafor.
Fultz averaged 23.2 points last season at Washington, tops among freshmen, and added 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, the only Division I player to reach those stats.

The blockbuster trade between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers for the first pick in the NBA Draft is now official. Fultz, who went to high school in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, led the Pac-12 in scoring and finished No. 6 among all Division I players. If you had to grade out this trade, you'd say that both teams are getting what they want, but you'd have to say that it favors the Sixers at least slightly, considering we at least know what they're getting out of it (Markelle Fultz).
For athletes around the world, being selected in the NBA Draft can be a lifelong dream, and this will definitely be a special night for each and every one of the prospects who get drafted. Jackson told ESPN.com on Wednesday that he didn't want to work out for the Celtics when they were picking first overall, but his mindset changed when they traded down. And Fultz's camp was not going to meet with the Sixers unless a deal was imminent, according to reports. They now hold the third pick in the draft, in addition to picks 37, 53, and 56 in the second round.
