1. Philadelphia 76ers – Jayson Tatum

The success the Sixers have had in recent seasons is all the more impressive considering the production the team never got from the No. 1 pick in this draft. Fultz played just 33 games for Philadelphia in two seasons.

But Tatum has been superb from day one of being drafted. While a slow sophomore season dampened the excitement of his rookie campaign, the 2019-20 season has served as a launching pad for Tatum into stardom. In earning an All-Star selection, he’s averaged 23.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest while shooting 39.8% from range.
