Markelle Fultz good as advertised despite miserable Huskies season

Markelle Fultz is everything the Washington Huskies hoped he would be.

Truthfully, he is probably even better than that, quite possibly the most talented player to ever wear a UW men’s basketball uniform. He is certainly the most talented freshman the Huskies have ever had, and perhaps the most talented freshman in the country this season, and a potential No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA draft.

All of which makes this miserable UW season even more confounding.

Fultz leads the Pac-12 in scoring by nearly five points per game over the next guy — Arizona State’s Torian Graham, whom the Huskies face Wednesday night in Tempe — with a per-game average of 23.
