Nike signed the last two No. 1 draft picks, Karl-Anthony Towns and Ben Simmons. The sportswear and sneaker giant will take over the NBA’s apparel and merchandising next season.

Fultz, a standout guard from Washington, is currently projected as the No. 1 pick on most draft boards. Boston holds the top pick.
