Markelle Fultz struggles during on-court workout with 76ers

Markelle Fultz looked inconsistent shooting during his workout with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to reporters on the scene.

The former Washington Huskies guard traveled to Philadelphia to meet with the team amid rumors the 76ers are deep in the process of working to acquire the Boston Celtics' No. 1 overall pick. Philly picks at No. 3 overall. If the 76ers land the No. 1 overall pick, they are expected to take Fultz, who is the consensus top prospect in the 2017 NBA Draft.

MORE DRAFT DRAMA

 

Fultz shot 47.6 percent from the field and 41.3 from behind the 3-point line during his lone season at Washington. His small sample of shooting in Philadelphia was well below those figures, as he shot 4 of 18 (22.2 percent) in an around-the-world format drill, according to Calkins Media's Tom Moore.

The context of this performance is important, however. The drills Fultz ran through were by far the least important part of his visit with Philadelphia, as noted by Draft Express and the Ringer's Derek Bodner. The interview and medical examination were significantly more important.
