Rumor Central: Markelle Fultz hires agent ahead of Lakers workout

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, NBA draft prospect Markelle Fultz has hired Raymond Brothers of I AM Sports & Entertainment to be his agent. Brothers currently represents Portland’s Al-Farouq Aminu, Orlando’s D.J. Augustin, Chicago's Jerian Grant and Memphis' Zach Randolph.

Fultz is expected to be selected by the Boston Celtics with the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA draft. However, there is a chance the Celtics could trade the pick or pass on Fultz, and that's why he's willing to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers.
