Sixers' Markelle Fultz is 'too gifted for anyone to give up on him' | On shooting, hype, why Fultz can still be great and a timeline

Lorenzo Romar had his entire Washington Huskies basketball team over for dinner one night at his family home in Seattle and as Romar looked around the living room he noticed his star player was missing.

Where's Markelle?

Markelle Fultz was in the other room, setting the kitchen table for dinner with Romar’s wife, Leona.

Even in just one college year, there was plenty of evidence that Fultz, now a Sixers guard, wasn’t really like any star Romar had ever coached. Fultz once cooked chicken and waffles for his teammates, and during one stretch of the season when he was injured, Fultz was known to retrieve water for his teammates on the bench.
