The Washington standout is soft-spoken, but not short of confidence, believing that his talent can take this youth-infused team to the promise land with his help.
Within the span of a day, Fultz traveled to the City of Brotherly Love for a workout and a consequent interview with the Sixers front office and coaching staff, quickly making acquaintances with Ben Simmons, Robert Covington, and Dario Saric, along with rookie sensation Joel Embiid, whom he knew prior to his college days.
The Sixers now boast a deep array of young talent and a 1-3-5 punch for the future that can be the nightmare of the Eastern Conference for years to come upon their development as players.
Fultz is a proven scoring guard with all-around abilities on the basketball court, finishing sixth in the nation in scoring with a 23.2 points per game average and a 41.2 percent clip from beyond the arc, adding 5.9 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 1.2 blocks to round out an outstanding line in his lone year at the University of Washington.
