Come And Get Me

The Philadelphia 76ers may be a team to do just that.  On one hand, the Philadelphia 76ers hold their own first round draft pick and swap rights with that of the Sacramento Kings.  That’s good for a 13.1 percent chance of the first overall pick.  On the other hand, the Sixers have the rights to the Los Angeles Lakers pick  should it fall to four through six. And so, chances for a second top six pick are 53.1 percent chance. In fact, if you combine the Kings/76ers chances and the 76ers have a 49.2 percent chance of a top three pick.

That creates a plausible scenario where the 76ers have the firepower to trade up for Fultz, if they find a willing partner? It will depend on three things.

ONE:  Do the Philadelphia 76ers think Markelle Fultz is worth it?
TWO: Will the team which lands the top overall pick consider trading it?
THREE: Most importantly, Does Markelle Fultz Trust The Process?

Well, we have the answer to question number three.

And in so making the statement, he has claimed the opportunity to wear the jersey of the Philadelphia 76ers.
