Will things ever start looking up for the Sixers' Markelle Fultz? | Bob Ford
Fultz is a point guard, but the Sixers already have one. Will he morph into a "third star?" The team has made it clear they no longer expect that to happen.

Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz looks far more comfortable at point guard
The Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Orlando Magic revealed something about Markelle Fultz’s present strengths and weaknesses. Ben Simmons played seven minutes before exiting the game with back stiffness against the Orlando Magic last Saturday, leaving the Philadelphia 76ers shorthanded while forcing Joel Embiid and J.J. Redick to carry the offensive burden.

Sixers may need a lineup change, but Markelle Fultz needs a clear role either way
The jury is still out on the early Fultz-as-starter experiment. The Philadelphia 76ers' first two games of the 2018-19 season haven't told us anything we didn't know already. The Boston Celtics are clearly the better team, the Chicago Bulls can't defend, Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid are super talented, and the Sixers could still use more shooting. For a team built around two players in Simmons (a non-shooter) and Embiid (a capable yet below average three-point shooter who favors post play), space around them is essential. This is where J.J. Redick, with his endless off-ball movement,...
