Philadelphia 76ers Brett Brown Transform Markelle Fultz Defense
By Bret Stuter
True Journey Begins
But beyond the compelling narrative that placed him as the newest arrival to the Philadelphia 76ers, the true journey now begins. Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric are all on the same page of life. Basketball is their mistress. Time in the gym is the highlight of the day. They are all working on their basketball craft, putting in the time now so that they have the skillsets to enjoy the rewards later.

Coach Brown knows this. He knows he has a dedicated audience of talented young men who want to accomplish something special. And he has the best of virtually all NBA support services available. Brown and former executive Sam Hinkie built the organization around the very spot the Philadelphia 76ers now stand. A lineup of incredibly talented young men prepared to play their NBA careers together.
Team Player
Placing a fast quick-handed defender on the court elevates everyone’s defense. One of the key players to benefit from those chase-down blocks is Jahlil Okafor. But the team will reap the overall rewards.
Markelle Fultz, much like Ben Simmons, understand fully that the game of basketball is a true team sport. No one player wins the game. Elite as their raw talents, each has arrived to the pros with the first hand knowledge that personal bests do not mean victories. Championships require the effort of all. The Philadelphia 76ers build around such players who understand the team concept. Markelle Fultz will be a Brown defender. He will be a Philadelphia 76ers. But most of all, he will be a player Philadelphia will learn to love. He belongs on this team so deeply, that Karma itself intervened to make it happen.
