Marcus Fuller’s NBA mock draft: Who will go first overall on Wednesday?

The NBA draft is Wednesday (first round, 7 p.m., ABC) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Thursday (second round, 3 p.m., ESPN) at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in Manhattan. Star Tribune’s college basketball writer Marcus Fuller projects the first round:

Clingan has the highest upside of any player on UConn’s back-to-back national championship teams. He has a massive wingspan (7-7) and physical presence (275 pounds) to match up with current NBA centers. His perimeter shooting adds more scoring potential.

Sarr was a consensus projected No. 1 pick for months because of his size, athleticism, and length (7-4 wingspan). His shot blocking and fluidity on the perimeter as a slender-built 7-footer resembles Chet Holmgren. But Sarr is a raw talent offensively.

One of the “readiest” players in the draft because of his outside shooting, facilitating and high basketball IQ. The star freshman had high games of 27 points with seven threes vs. Tennessee and 32 points vs. Mississippi State.

Surpassed fellow Frenchmen Sarr in several recent mock drafts as a potential No. 1 pick. Three-point shooting, ballhandling and defensive versatility could allow him to make an immediate impact for any team.

The Pistons fired coach Monty Williams following one season, so the next coach will have several exciting young pieces, especially Buzelis. He’s an intriguing talent with the ability to play any position on the floor.

Castle shined in the Final Four as an athletic playmaker. The springy freshman was more potential than production this year, but the Huskies don’t win the title as easily without his play in the NCAA tournament.

This is a draft where any player in the top 10 could prove to be the best player. Williams, who shot 41% from three, has the tools to be that guy because of his guard skills and 7-foot wingspan.

No glaring differences between Dillingham and Sheppard as scorers in Kentucky’s dynamic freshman backcourt. But Dillingham measured two inches shorter and only 165 pounds at the NBA combine.

Holland was once a top-five pick candidate, but his stock wasn’t helped by poor perimeter shooting for the Ignite. Still, he’s an athletic downhill finisher and tough defender with major upside.

Reports of Topic suffering a partial torn ACL injury likely ruined his chances at becoming a top-five pick. But there’s nobody craftier with their shot-making and ballhandling than the 18-year-old point guard.

The Big East player of the year had a breakout season after averaging nearly 20 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two steals last season. His stock continued to rise in the predraft process during workouts.

Arguably the most athletic center in this year’s draft, Missi has a 37-inch vertical that can make him an elite rim protector and alley-oop threat similar to the Dallas Mavericks’ Dereck Lively II.

Another talented Frenchmen, Salaun’s development could take longer than his peers. But his superb leaping ability and defensive potential are easy to fall in love with late in the lottery.

Not on the radar of any draft scouts before last season, Knecht can be an instant scoring and three-point threat. He saved his best for last with 37 points vs. Purdue in his final college game.

One of the older prospects, the 23-year-old German native could be an instant rotational player as a rookie with his maturity and all-around game as a stretch power forward.

Excellent passer with the size to play all three perimeter positions, but he projects as a big point guard in the league.

Could adjust to the NBA quicker than most freshman with his knowledge of the game and sharpshooting stroke coming out of Durham, N.C.

The Magic need help everywhere, so why not take a chance on this athletic and skilled wing from Switzerland that could develop over time into a role guy?

Easy pick for the Raptors to bring the two-time NCAA player of the year back to his home country to fill their need at center.

Projected lottery pick entering college, the freshman guard didn’t shoot the three consistently last season, but he combined for 39 points in two NCAA tournament games.

Hard to find another player at this stage with stock higher last year than Collier, who was in the No. 1 pick conversation before a disappointing freshman year.

Proved with the Hoosiers to be more productive (16 points and 10 rebounds per game) and have a higher motor than earlier in his career at Oregon.

Very similar build to Giannis Antetokounmpo coming into the NBA from overseas, but Klintman would have the luxury to learn and develop under the Greek Freak’s wing.

Powerfully built junior with a deep offensive arsenal, but Tyson’s ceiling isn’t projected to be as high because of his age (turns 22 in December).

Top scorer and rebounder for Duke has the offensive tools and size at 250 pounds to become a rotational NBA player in time.

The youngest prospect in this year’s draft, the 18-year-old Christie will improve with another year of physical growth to go with his smooth jumper.

Minnesota hoop fans got to see a taste of Shannon’s explosive scoring when he averaged 34 points to lead the Illini to the Big Ten tournament title at Target Center.

The Nuggets having a successful history with international prospects bodes well for developing this lengthy wing who can defend and has range.

Another young perimeter player with size and shooting skill, but Furphy likely would have gone much higher with a second season in college to gain strength.

This year’s NBA champion can add frontcourt depth with Holmes, who should be able to immediately defend pick-and-rolls and rebound.
