ISAAC: Boston, curtesy of Brooklyn, lands the top overall pick with the best odds to get it heading into lottery night.

There might not be a busier franchise in the league at the moment as Boston prepares to host the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night. Now, with the first pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Boston adds to their plate in a good way.

Although trading the pick will definitely come up between now and the end of June, if they keep the pick, selecting Markelle Fultz would be the obvious pick.

Even though Boston has a gluttony of point guards on the roster, including their best player in Isaiah Thomas, you have to take the best player in Fultz. The good thing about Fultz is that he has the ability to play alongside of Thomas in the same back court.

Fultz would be the potential superstar in Boston moving forward in an offseason where Boston will have to make some financial decisions regarding their back court.

There is a very good chance that the Ball camp will force their way to Los Angeles. If there is a debate, I would expect Josh Jackson to get some love.
