In late August, I heard that the Sixers Front Office was planning on playing Markelle Fultz significant minutes early in the season and starting him.
On Fultz, I’m hearing the Sixers are encouraged by the recent clips and maybe even how the shot held up during live action. It’s not perfect and there may be some ups and downs but it’s made steady progress. The plan is for big minutes and a starting role from the jump.

At one point, I’d even heard they were projecting him for a role somewhere around 30 minutes per game!
