1. Boston Celtics Select Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington
Age: 18 (May 29, 1998)
Size: 6-foot-4, 195 pounds
It certainly doesn't help that Fultz is sitting at home while guys like Lonzo Ball and Josh Jackson are tearing up the NCAA tournament, but I'm not budging on the Washington star as the No. 1 overall pick. There isn't anything that he could have done in the Big Dance--outside of an injury--that would have altered his stock either way.
When it comes down to it, Fultz has everything you're looking for in a point guard prospect. He's big and athletic. He can get to the hoop at will, showing an ability to finish in between the trees or dish it to an open teammate. He's excellent in the pick-and-roll. He can shoot. He can pass. He can play off the ball, which is important for a team that already has Isaiah Thomas. He can do it all. Even with middling talent around him at UW, he averaged 23.2 points on 50.2 percent shooting from two-point range and 41.3 percent from three-point range, adding 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per contest. Offensively, he is as polished and versatile as you're going to find in an 18-year-old. (Getty)
