2017 NBA mock draft: Who follows Fultz, Ball at the top?

If the No. 1 overall pick can get moved, then no pick is safe.

Plenty of deck shuffling should be in the cards during the immediate hours leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft. With so many All-Stars rumored to be on the move, it's a safe bet that several more picks will change hands before commissioner Adam Silver reads out the selections on Thursday night.

Here's how we think the draft will shake out for the time being.

1. 76ers - Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington

The 76ers needed a point guard prospect who can create his own shot, reliably connect from deep, and distribute for others while growing with the rest of the team's young core. Fultz checks off all the boxes, which is why the Sixers paid handsomely for the No. 1 pick.

2. Lakers - Lonzo Ball, PG, UCLA

Despite a report that he underwhelmed in a workout for the Lakers, Ball staying in Los Angeles is basically a sure thing at this point, especially with D'Angelo Russell heading to Brooklyn. By drafting the UCLA star, Magic Johnson gets his point guard to run the up-tempo style that Luke Walton hopes to play.

3. Celtics - Jayson Tatum, SF, Duke

It's a toss-up between Tatum and Josh Jackson for Boston's No. 3 selection, but the former gets the nod. Tatum is a skilled scorer who's best when isolating in the middle of the floor. His moves are very advanced for his age, and his size at 6-foot-9 should allow him to get his shot off with ease.

4. Suns - Josh Jackson, SF, Kansas

The Suns add a monster talent to the wing with the pick of Jackson, a player who should go well with the explosive backcourt of Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe. Jackson will be an above-average defender in the NBA as soon as he steps on the court, and has the offensive game to be a fan favorite in Phoenix.

5. Kings - De'Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky

The Kings are reportedly in love with Fox, and it's not hard to see why. He'd immediately become the quickest guard in the NBA, is a dogged defender, has a great motor and compete level, and would thrive as a pass-first, drive-and-dish lead guard. His jump shot is inconsistent, but nobody's perfect.

6. Magic - Malik Monk, SG, Kentucky

This pick is a no-brainer, as the shooting-deficient Magic add the best shooter in the draft. Monk showed the potential to go for 30 on any given night at Kentucky, and should help Orlando's scoring woes in the backcourt.

7. Timberwolves - Jonathan Isaac, SF/PF, Florida St.

Isaac offers a tantalizing bundle of tools. His frame is absurd for a wing player, he's a plus athlete with plenty of hops, and he competes, which gives him the potential to become a devastating defender. Isaac is limited offensively, but he figures to be a capable low-usage 3-and-D threat with a decent in-between game.

8. Knicks - Frank Ntilikina, PG, France

By the time the draft rolls around, Phil Jackson may have traded the No. 8 pick five different times, but if the Knicks still hold it they'll grab Ntilikina out of France. New York is years away from contending at its current rate, so taking a player with tons of upside is a likely play.

9. Mavericks - Dennis Smith Jr., PG, NC State

In terms of talent and ability, Smith Jr. can go toe to toe with anybody in the draft as a triple-threat guard who can slash, distribute. and score. He's maddeningly inconsistent, but could become a star with the right coach in the right system.

10. Kings - Luke Kennard, SG, Duke

One of the league's better 3-point teams - Sacramento finished fifth last year with a 37.6 shooting percentage from deep - adds another weapon in Kennard, one of college basketball's best shooters.

11. Hornets - Zach Collins, PF/C, Gonzaga

Collins will take some time to develop, but he's an excellent center prospect. The Gonzaga product boasts great instincts, the size and agility to play center, and has shown the ability to finish reliably around the rim with either hand. He needs to get stronger and hone his jump shot.

12. Pistons - Lauri Markkanen, PF, Arizona

The Pistons were one of the worst 3-point shooting teams last season, and address that need by selecting Arizona's Lauri Markkanen. The standout freshman nailed an impressive 42 percent of his shots from beyond the arc last season, and also showed a willingness to mix it up with 7.2 rebounds per contest.

13. Nuggets - Jarrett Allen, C, Texas

Allen is one of the many centers in the draft who boasts great physical tools but lacks polish to contribute immediately. He's a plus athlete, his standing reach is silly, he wears an NBA-ready body, and he converted 68 percent of his looks around the basket. But it will take some work.

14. Heat - Donovan Mitchell, SG, Louisville

At 6-foot-2, Mitchell may be undersized for a shooting guard, but his 211-pound frame and 6-foot-11 wingspan allows him to get to the basket and finish with ease. While his offensive game is strong, it's his defensive prowess that turns heads, and Erik Spoelstra will love his ability to bother opponents.

15. Blazers - John Collins, PF, Wake Forest

Collins is a bit undersized to play center, but the other tools are there. He was the best pick-and-roll finisher in college, plays incredibly hard, and is aggressive in transition and around the paint. Someone will have to teach him how to defend at the pro level, but this applies to almost every prospect.

16. Bulls - Justin Jackson, SF, UNC

The Bulls were one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league last year and Jackson certainly addresses that need. The North Carolina wing was one of the ACC's most prolific scorers and uses his long frame to shoot over opponents at will.

17. Bucks - Harry Giles, C, Duke

Giles is a high-upside flyer who could pay huge dividends. Before injuries undercut his collegiate career, the freakishly athletic big man was dunking everything in sight as a top prospect coming out of high school. Getting him healthy would be the first step toward tapping into his immense talent.

18. Pacers - T.J. Leaf, PF, UCLA

He may not be Kevin Love, but the Pacers still add a quality UCLA big man in Leaf. The freshman star put up big numbers in his lone season with the Bruins, and will be a fan favorite in Indiana with his wide variety of offensive skills.

19. Hawks - OG Anunoby, SF/PF, Indiana

Anunoby has all the physical tools to become a quality 3-and-D forward. His chiseled frame is already more advanced than most NBA wing players, and his 7-foot-2 wingspan should allow him to guard multiple positions. That being said, his jumper is still a work in progress and he's coming off an ACL injury.

20. Blazers - Justin Patton, C, Creighton

Portland adds a freakish athlete in Patton, as the 7-footer has exceptional agility and lateral quickness for a player his size. Using him as a dive man in the pick-and-roll with Damian Lillard could be a huge bonus for the Trail Blazers' offense.

21. Thunder - Bam Adebayo, C, Kentucky

Size and motor are two things you can't teach, and they're the two core pillars of Adebayo's game. He's very limited offensively, but should be a fan favorite wherever he goes based on his work rate alone. He's a terror on the glass, stays within himself, and plays with incredible energy.

22. Nets - Anzejs Pasecniks, C, Latvia

The Nets firm up their frontcourt with Latvian center Anzejs Pasecniks at No. 22. The 7-foot-1, 220-pounder has solid mobility for his size, and can dominate the paint at either end of the court. He also owns a decent handle for a big man and has shown flashes of a 3-point shot throughout his professional career in Europe.

23. Raptors - Semi Ojeleye, SF/PF, SMU

It's not hard to see why Ojeleye's stock is rising ahead of the draft. The SMU product is built like a tank, can guard multiple positions, and is a reliable 3-point shooter with a 40.5-inch vertical. His in-between game needs work, but he can become an excellent 3-and-D option.

24. Jazz - D.J. Wilson, PF, Michigan

Wilson rides a strong NCAA tournament performance to a first-round selection, as the Jazz grab the Michigan forward with the 24th pick. Wilson is a very athletic player at 6-foot-10, 240 pounds, and showed the ability to be a dangerous pick-and-pop threat throughout his collegiate career.

25. Magic - Ike Anigbogu, C, UCLA

The positives with Anigbogu are obvious. He weights 252 pounds, wears a 7-foot-6 wingspan, and uses his size effectively both around the basket and on the glass. But Anigbogu lacks polish, and really needs to improve his defensive awareness before cracking any NBA rotation.

26. Blazers - Terrance Ferguson, SG, USA (via Australia)

Ferguson is going from Australia to the Pacific Northwest as Portland grabs the former U.S. high school star with the 26th pick. Ferguson opted to play pro ball in Australia instead of going to college, and could be a potential steal this late in the first round.

27. Lakers - Jordan Bell, PF, Oregon

Bell is uniquely built for the modern game. He's a rare defensive specialist who's equally comfortable in the paint or on the perimeter. Bell's anticipation was rare for a collegiate player, his frame and quickness allow him to check multiple positions, and he would fit on almost any team.

28. Lakers - Johnathan Motley, PF/C, Baylor

If Motley can extend his range beyond the 3-point line, this could be a steal for the Lakers at 28. The Baylor standout is a mid-range machine who's also an above-average rebounder for his position. At 6-foot-9 with a monster 9-foot-3 standing reach, Motley could be a menace for opponents entering the paint.

29. Spurs - Ivan Rabb, PF/C, Cal

The positives with Rabb are clear. He is a skilled big who can beat his man to the cup in the face-up game, his touch around the rim is reliable, and he's diligent on the defensive glass. But the negatives are just as glaring - he's an undersized center without a jumper and who's limited defensively.

30. Jazz - Tyler Lydon, SF/PF, Syracuse

The Jazz grab a stretch-four with the final pick in the first round. The 6-foot-9, 215-pound Lydon showed throughout his two years with the Orange that he's a capable 3-point threat and isn't afraid to crash the glass. He'll need to put on size, but could be a late steal for Utah.
