The difference a handful of months can make is significant. Back in June, Philadelphia 76ers fans were thrilled after the team traded up for the no. 1 pick in an effort to select Markelle Fultz — the Washington guard who, at the time, was the consensus top prospect.
Now we’ve reached the new year and people are already questioning whether or not Fultz was the right choice. Not only has he dealt with injury, but was oddly incapable of shooting after muscular imbalance messed with his shoulder during the offseason. What’s even more odd, though, was the fact that it took four games to realize the severity of the issue and rest him.
