Markelle Fultz’s rookie season was so disappointing that many people believed former Philadelphia 76ers general manager Bryan Colangelo should’ve been fired for trading multiple first-round picks for him, before he was fired for giving confidential information to his wife who leaked that information over Twitter.
Playing in 14 of the Sixers’ 82 regular season games, Fultz averaged 7.1 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.1 rebounds while playing 18.1 minutes per game. One of Fultz’s best attributes in college, and the main reason he seemed like the perfect player to put next to Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, was his ability to hit pull-up jumpers from mid-to-three-point range.
