Quotes:

In Andrew Sharp’s mock draft on Sports Illustrated, he has Fultz going first overall to the Boston Celtics. Here is what he had to say on his draft potential.

"“He can play either backcourt spot, he’s the most explosive guard in a lottery that’s full of them, and he checks just about every box for an NBA guard prospect in 2017.”"

Also predicting Fultz to go No. 1 overall, this is what Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report had to say of Markelle:

"“He’s the most complete guard in the field, with tools, athleticism, volume production and efficiency to back up all the potential. He won’t absorb much blame for Washington’s 9-22 season.”"
