According to David Aldridge of TNT and Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76’ers have agreed on a deal that will send the first overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft to Philadelphia. The Sixers are expected to select Markelle Fultz, a 6’4” point guard from the University of Washington, generally considered the top player in this year’s draft class.
Trade between Philly and Boston will be finalized on Monday, per source. Sides have agreed. Sixers will get first pick and take Fultz.
