ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — It’s impossible to know what to expect from Markelle Fultz’s first taste of NBA games.
His three most recent predecessors in the No. 1 overall draft pick club all had wildly different experiences. Andrew Wiggins put on a high-flying display and led everybody in scoring. Karl-Anthony Towns was too nervous and committed nine fouls. Ben Simmons missed the majority of his shots and had cramps in both legs.
And now it’s Fultz’s turn.
Summer League — a three-city, 17-day, 93-game extravaganza for the NBA where results will soon be forgotten — is back.
