NEW YORK - The No. 1 pick was ready, seated, Sixers hat pulled down tight, answers ready.
But the microphone wouldn't work.
And the backup mic wouldn't work.
The third mic worked, but the cord was too short.
Technicians scrambled. The emcee sweated.
Markelle Fultz stayed cool.
"It's all good," he said. "It's all good."
That was how the first 75 seconds of Fultz's first NBA press conference unfolded: everything going wrong, Fultz calm amid it all.
Anyone who watched the Sixers botch dozens of late-game chances over the past four seasons knows the NBA's worst team needs a steady hand.
