Markelle Fultz is still the odds-on favorite to be selected first overall in June 22’s NBA draft, but there seems to be a lot more movement from teams trying to meet with him before the Boston Celtics (who own the pick) get to make their choice.
Late Thursday night, Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee reported that the Sacramento Kings were trying to get a meeting with Fultz despite currently residing at the number five spot in the draft.
The Lakers’s pick is three spots ahead of the Kings’, though, so it would make sense that they’d hope to get to meet Fultz if the Kings somehow get to.
