Philadelphia 76ers: How Markelle Fultz can help beat the Boston Celtics

Since the beginning of the Process, the Philadelphia 76ers have lacked a guard who can take over a game and score from anywhere. Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams was certainly not that player, and the team’s front office magnified that need for the four straight years when they drafted non-shooters with their best picks.

Markelle Fultz was supposed to step in and fill that gap last season, but the Sixers can’t have nice things, so he only played in 14 games in his rookie year as a result of hurting his shoulder and losing his jump shot.
