The Philadelphia 76ers went 3-1 in preseason action, taking down Melbourne United and the Orlando Magic before splitting two games with the Dallas Mavericks in China. Now Brett Brown will turn his attention to the regular season opener on Oct. 16.
In four preseason games, we saw the best and worst of Markelle Fultz. At times, Fultz was confidently stepping into mid-range jumpers and looking for his own shot. At others, he was passing up open looks and getting into foul trouble.
The first two games were largely positive for Fultz. He scored double digits in both contests, shredding Melbourne at the rim before burying Orlando with a barrage of jump shots (including his first career three-pointer).
