NBA Draft: A look back at the No. 1 Picks of the last decade
The No.1 pick is one of the most talked about and happening topic around the world during the NBA draft season, which is usually in the last few days of June. People start talking about the number one pick, making their guesses and videos of the best performers from the colleges start flocking the internet. Finally, when the pick is chosen he is expected to take the NBA by a boom.
Some players go on and become stars of NBA whereas some fail to do so. Here in this article, we take a look at the No. 1 pick of the last 10 Drafts (2008-2017) and see where the players stand today.
#2017 Markelle Fultz
This 6'4" guard from the University of Washington was the first pick of the NBA Draft 2017, selected by the Philadelphia 76ers.There was a lot of talk about his abilities and the way he can impact the 76ers. He was really the player to be watched for and alongside Ben Simmons and Joel Embid, he seemed a perfect fit.
Surprisingly to the fact above, he has only played 4 games in the season so far, averaging 6.0 points with a field goal percentage of 33.3%. In his 76 minutes played, let alone making, Fultz hasn't even attempted one three-pointer. His bizarre shooting action lately for the free throws was a sign of some problem in the shoulder.
We can't comment much on the rookie as the season is still going on and he is eying a return. We hope he gets well and shows us some moves which he surely posses.It will be interesting to see what impact he makes after his return.
