Andrew Toney: A lesson for Philadelphia 76ers to handle Markelle Fultz

Philadelphia 76ers coach Billy Cunningham spent a lot of time back in the early 1980s trying to reign in his supremely confident young guard Andrew Toney.

The No. 8 pick in the 1980 NBA Draft, Toney was a 6-foot-3 shooting guard out of Southwest Louisiana (now known as Louisiana-Lafayette) and he could score.

Long-range, drives (he had the quickest first step in the NBA not seen again until Allen Iverson arrived), mid-range jumpers, fast-break layups.
