The Potential of Markelle Fultz

For the second year in a row a player that failed to lead his team to the NCAA Tournament is expected to be the top pick in the NBA draft. DraftExpress.com, CBSSports.com, and NBADraft.net all expect Washington University point guard Markelle Fultz to be the first name called by NBA commissioner Adam Silver on draft day, despite being the best player on a team with 9 wins and 22 losses. Fultz was part of a Washington team that was worse than 2016’s top draft pick Ben Simmons‘ LSU team that finished the 2015-16 season with 19 wins and 14 losses.
