Every year pundits and experts draw up mock drafts to predict the outcome of the night but trades and big moves make it nearly impossible to predict what can happen.
However, Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off the biggest surprise, and traded for three-time All-Star Jimmy Butler.
Meanwhile, given the fact that Fultz has the potential to be a combo guard at the National Basketball Association level, he is an ideal fit to play alongside Ben Simmons.
The Philadelphia 76ers took Fultz with the No. 1 pick and the Lakers followed by taking Ball, with the point guards from the Pac-12 Conference beginning a run of seven straight freshmen.
The Los Angeles Lakers used the second pick to select homegrown guard Lonzo Ball of UCLA, who led college basketball in assists.

Meira Kumar is opposition candidate
He said it was Kumar who had initiated the unity move in the opposition but he suddenly lent his support to the NDA candidate. Ram Nath Kovind's role as Bihar Governor has been admirable, he worked impartially.
Kelsey Plum, an NCAA record setter, was selected first overall in the 2017 WNBA Draft. Fultz also led the Pac-12 in scoring by nearly five points, giving UW the league's scoring crown for the second-straight year.
The dreams of so many outstanding young men have come true.
The 6-foot-4 (1.93 m) guard became the second consecutive number one overall pick by Philadelphia, following forward Ben Simmons a year ago.
Fultz spent two days working out with the Celtics - meeting with Danny Ainge and going through workouts with coach Brad Stevens. A record 14 were taken in the first round of last year's draft and that number should be threatened Thursday.
"I don't think the other guys in this draft really care as much as I do", Jackson said.
Teams chasing those two squads may make up ground quickest with a veteran player they can only get through free agency or a trade, so that may have to wait until July. "I'm going to have some custom-made shoes that I think nobody ever had before".
Trading for George, who informed the Pacers that he would not re-sign a long-term deal with them and would instead prefer to play for the Los Angeles Lakers when he hits free agency in the summer of 2018, is a huge risk. "I'm ready to get in that Heat jersey".
