It appears that Markelle Fultz can contribute in a game. At least, that’s the impression 76ers coach Brett Brown gave Wednesday after practice at the team’s facility.
“You can see why he was the first player chosen” in the NBA draft, Brown said, “the stuff he does with the ball, his ability to get into the lane and find people. The hesitancy at times we see with his shot is true. It’s real.
“He can still impact an NBA game without having to shoot.”
Despite that, Fultz will miss his 37th consecutive game Thursday night when the Sixers face the Boston Celtics at TD Garden.
