The Philadelphia 76ers gave the No. 3 pick and a future first-round pick to the Boston Celtics to jump up to No. 1.
In doing so, the 76ers signaled a potential end of "The Process" by going after consensus top prospect Markelle Fultz while the Celtics seem to continue to bide their time until they make a big move.
While the very top of the draft seems set, the remaining picks appear to be up in the air. To get a better idea of how the first round might play out, we surveyed seven experts' mock drafts to find a consensus pick for all 30 first-round picks.
