It's yet to be determined if he is a good enough in-game strategist for when we're competing but for someone to motivate, develop, and lead a team of youngsters, I really don't think there could be possibly be a better choice.


Brown's background as a Spurs assistant, he knows a thing or two about player development and what abilities will translate at the next level, especially shooting and shooting mechanics. This is the guy Brown probably targeted from the start of the college basketball season.

Then Keith hit me up and said, “New plan. Philly.”

I was just waking up. So I was like, “O.K., cool. Do they have Chick-fil-A there?”

A crispy chicken sandwich for breakfast. It’s kind of like my good luck charm. Keith never got back to me about that important question. So I found out for myself. I googled it immediately.

Philly does have Chick-fil-A. It has six, actually.

Seven if you count the one at the airport. Boston has zero Chick-fil-As, for what it’s worth.


What's up with this dude and Chik-fil-A? Also, lol at Jojo texting him 75 times in the past week.


all the highschool and college kids love chic fil a, it's their go-to fastfood

Fultz said he celebrated by going to sleep. XD...this guy might be one of the most bland 1st picks personality wise and I ain't even mad.

fultz and dsj made some dramatic transformations, bodywise from their senior year of hs to their freshman year of college. both added a lot of muscle. can't wait to see fultz with nba conditioning and training.

Nutrition is still the most important thing. He needs to stop eating like a little kid and fuel like an adult and proper professional athlete.

I don't want to hear him talking about garbage-tier food all the time. Especially when he looks bloated with fat cheeks.

Yeah. The last thing we need is a fat point guard like former UConn great Khaled El Amin. I'm sure he will get on a good diet though. He seems dedicated.

Markelle should have some help. Go Sixers!! Kind of surprised Anderson isn't playing. He is most definitely on the bubble.

You do realize he probably hasn't played competitive ball since the college season ended, right? Almost no top prospects play competitively once to the college season ends to prevent injury thus lowering their draft stock.


He was a fat child.

Ok I feel like what's done is done and now I'm ready to get behind Fultz

I hope he will be an All Star one day and prove me wrong

I'm feeling 44 wins next year, with a 5-6 seed in the offs

Aaron was the shooter and actually made the NBA before his brother. I hope they both can make it and have decent careers. They took a lot of unfair criticism as College prospects.

Fultz and Simmons should hit up Lebron and get the PED's that him and Wade used in Miami. Maybe shoot some into Embiids knees.

Chic-Fil-A isn't the worst thing in the world. Actually it's more like the best :)

Seriously, you can get healthy stuff there. Even their regular chicken sandwich isn't that bad (400 cals), and you can save 25-50 cal by telling them no butter on the bun.

Barkley ate two super-sized fish sandwhich meals with a diet coke from McDonalds before every game. At least he's not as bad as Barkley.

Personality wise Markelle is a troll at heart. He and Embiid will become BFFs.

There was an article some months ago on one of his workouts - Fultz is a beast in the gym. I don't think the occasional chicken sandwich is going to hurt him that much.
