Markelle Fultz was ‘“Excited to head to (City) and join the (team name)’

7Ntl0m3hBaZd
Markelle Fultz admitted he wanted the Philadelphia 76ers to draft him after some players participated in his draft workout.

The 76ers drafted Markelle Fultz No. 1 overall, placing a ton of attention on the point guard.

He parlayed that attention into a sponsored Instagram post, but he – or whomever posted on his behalf – never changed the stock text the company sent.

Rodger Sherman of The Ringer:

Fultz deleted and reposted, but this was probably a blessing in disguise. If it weren’t for the funny initial oversight, the advertisement never would have gotten so much traction.
