Sixers' Ben Simmons on Markelle Fultz
The Sixers opened the 2018 preseason with an impressive 104-84 victory over Melbourne United from the NBL on Friday. Head coach Brett Brown inserted second year guard Markelle Fultz into the starting lineup, and had the sharp shooting JJ Redick come off the bench.
Fultz played well throughout the contest finishing with 14 points, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Most importantly, he looked relaxed and comfortable. He was simply playing his game and the team benefited the most from his free spirited style of play.
