Now that the NCAA tournament is over and Lonzo Ball’s dad is off TV for a few weeks, Markelle Fultz is going to start getting some buzz for the No. 1 overall pick. No doubt, he’ll try to help create that buzz himself.
“I believe I’m going to be the No. 1 pick,” Fultz told CSN Philly. “I think I’ve put enough work in to do that.”
If the Suns land the No. 2 pick and the Lakers land at No. 3, things will get interesting. The Lakers clearly want to keep Ball in Southern California and he wants to be there. Will Magic Johnson be desperate enough to get Ball that he’ll relinquish future picks and/or players to move up just two or three spots?
