The Boston Celtics won the lottery and made their potential trade offers more valuable since they control the draft.
The Celtics had interest in trading for either Paul George or Jimmy Butler at the deadline and can revisit those discussions in June.
"Fultz is the clear choice" for the Celtics if they decide to keep the pick, according to Chad Ford.
The Celtics will also own the Brooklyn Nets' unprotected first rounder in 2018.
