Markelle Fultz’s social media skills could use a little work.
Thursday was a big night for Fultz, whom the Philadelphia 76ers selected No. 1 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft. The former Washington point guard widely was considered the top prospect in this year’s draft, and that became a reality at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Being the No. 1 pick understandably comes with some sponsors, and with this being 2017, Fultz apparently was asked to post something on Instagram for a brand. But instead of replacing the placeholders with his new team, he left them for the world to see and chuckle at.
