The 2018 NBA Draft was held Thursday night at the home of the Nets in Brooklyn. Arizona big man Deandre Ayton became the No. 1 overall pick by the Suns and will join Devin Booker as part of an exciting young core in the desert.

The Kings used the No. 2 pick on Duke’s Marvin Bagley III, then the Mavericks traded up from No. 5 to No. 3 in order to land Slovenian guard Luka Doncic. Dallas paid a high price to do so by giving up a protected 2019 first-round pick to slide up two spots.

Atlanta used the fifth pick on Oklahoma guard Trae Young.

The Bulls landed a pair of good prospects with the No. 7 and No. 22 picks in Duke big man Wendell Carter Jr. and Boise State wing Chandler Hutchison. Neither player projects to be a superstar in the NBA, but they’re talented players who could fit well next to cornerstone forward Lauri Markkanen.

Other interesting picks in the first round include the Cavaliers nabbing Alabama point guard Collin Sexton and the Nuggets ending Michael Porter Jr.’s fall at No. 14. Duke and Villanova each had three players taken in the first round.
