Markelle N'Gai Fultz (born May 29, 1998) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Washington Huskies before being selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the first overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

During his single season (2016–17) with the Huskies, Fultz played point guard and shooting guard. Despite Washington's relatively disappointing year, he was named a third-team All-American and first-team All-Pac-12. He began his NBA career with the 76ers before being traded to the Magic in 2019.

Unable to translate the offensive prowess he had in college to the NBA due to a shoulder injury called thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), he is considered by many to be a draft bust.^[1][2]
