Markelle Fultz, the former first overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, has an opportunity to exceed the expectations of last season. The Philadelphia 76ers are currently on the rise as one of the top tier teams in the Eastern Conference. Interim General Manager and Head Coach Brett Brown was unsuccessful in bringing LeBron James, Paul George, or Kawhi Leonard to Philadelphia.
Once the possibilities of signing a big name during free agency evaporated, Brown stated that the Sixers were star hunting, meaning the franchise will not make a move just for the sake of making one, nor will there be any dramatic shakeups to the roster.
