Markelle N'Gai Fultz (born May 29, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA); he played for the University of Washington before joining the NBA. Termed the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA draft, Fultz—‌at point guard (PG) and shooting guard (SG)—‌played one season for an underperforming Washington team in 2016, where his scoring and athleticism were widely recognized. Fultz was selected to the Third-team All-American and First-team All-Pac-12 during that period. He entered the draft the following year, and was selected—‌first overall as projected—‌by the 76ers.
