VIDEO: 76ers Fans Have to Be Furious Watching Markelle Fultz Dominate With Magic
By Scott Rogust
Just over a year ago, Markelle Fultz was called one of the biggest busts in NBA history. Selected first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers, Fultz never caught on in the City of Brotherly Love, mostly due to shoulder surgery during his rookie year. At the trade deadline last season, Fultz was dealt to the Orlando Magic to start anew. After a full offseason of preparation, Fultz appears to be catching on during after their season opener on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. 76ers fans, you might want to look away from the following clips.

That's right, you just saw Fultz dunk IN TRANSITION.
The 2017 first overall pick was on fire from the start. At one point during the first quarter, Fultz scored eight points on his first four shots.

Remember when Markelle Fultz's jump shot appeared to be ruined following the aforementioned shoulder surgery? That's not the case, as his jumper looks fluid and effective.

He only finished with 12 points, but he shot 50% from the floor and dished out six assists.
Markelle Fultz will forever be an example of what could have been in Philadelphia sports history.
