76ers select Markelle Fultz first overall in the 2017 NBA Draft
The Philadelphia 76ers have selected Washington Huskies guard Markelle Fultz with the first overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
No surprise here as the Sixers and Boston Celtics swapped first-round picks earlier this week with Philly having the full intention to draft Fultz. He will start right away in the 76ers backcourt.
Fultz made 2.1 three-pointers per game at a 41.3% rate in college and will immediately improve a Sixers squad that ranked 25th in the NBA with a three-point percentage of 34% this past season.
