Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz should be a full-time starter

The Philadelphia 76ers are undefeated through two preseason games, taking care off Melbourne United and the Orlando Magic. Markelle Fultz has played a role in both wins, scoring 14 and 12 points, respectively.

The former No. 1 pick has surpassed J.J. Redick in the starting lineup, with Brett Brown looking to develop chemistry between his core pieces. Fultz might not be better than Redick right now, but the dynamism he brings to the offense is an important part of the Sixers’ future.

With that in mind, Brown’s decision should be simple once the regular season arrives — make Fultz the full-time starter.
