A 2021-22 Season Analysis of Markelle Fultz

Facilitating

Most considered Markelle Fultz a score-first point guard when he was a freshman at the University of Washington. That was a more-than-fair assessment at the time, as he averaged 23.2 points, while shooting 50.2 percent overall and 41.3 percent from 3-point range in those 25 games with the Huskies.

Some back in 2017 compared him to Kyrie Irving; others to James Harden (Rockets version) or Isaiah Thomas (Celtics version). But at this stage of his career, he shows more Chris Paul-like or Rajon Rondo-like characteristics, just based on his exceptionally good court vision, instincts, and basketball IQ.
