NBA: No. 1 Draft pick Fultz scores 10 points in 1st game since October
PHILADELPHIA Markelle Fultz who heard the chanting of 20,000 fans "Fultz! Fultz! Fultz!" and for a fleeting moment he thought they were serenading Philly's most popular athlete.
He thought they were saying `Nick Foles, Fultz said of the Super Bowl MVP for the champion Philadelphia Eagles.
"Then he realized it, and it was pretty dope. These fans are great, and I love them."
The Sixers and their fans wanted the No. 1 to pick and play well -- after five often-confusing months -- when they got him.
Fultz scored 10 points and had eight assists in his first game since October, helping the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Denver Nuggets 123-104 on Monday night.
The first selection of the 2017 draft shot an airball, where he had three shots blocked and artfully attacked the lane, flashing glimpses of what has made him both a mystery project and prominent prospect.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia had clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2012.
