While the Los Angeles Lakers were thrilled to walk away from the NBA Draft Lottery with the second overall pick, the Boston Celtics emerged with the top prize: the first overall pick.
The general consensus is that they will use it to select Washington guard Markelle Fultz, who is widely believed to be the most talented player in this year’s strong draft class.
Fultz went to Boston for a workout earlier this week, and the rumor was that he wouldn’t be visiting any other teams, which only solidified the notion that the Celtics were locked in on him.
