Markelle Fultz was born on May 29, 1998, in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, the younger of two children. His father abandoned the family, so he relied heavily on his mother, Ebony. Impassioned by basketball, Fultz was mentored in his early years by a local instructor named Keith Williams. In 2012, he began attending DeMatha Catholic High, an all-boys prep school as well as a basketball powerhouse.

Is Markelle Fultz a good fantasy player?

Markelle Fultz the former No.1 pick recently came off the IL and has been solid, tallying 25 points, 14 assists, eight boards, and three steals in just 66 total minutes. He’s a great buy-low player and could become a fantastic trade chip if he continues to trend up.
There was some speculation that Orlando could hold Fultz out of the second half of their back-to-back set on Saturday, but that isn’t the case. He isn’t listed on the injury report and is set to see his usual workload against the Raptors.
Fultz had a strong finish to last season and could find himself in the mix for fantasy-relevant minutes as the season progresses. He deserves a spot-on fantasy bench in deeper leagues with a wait-and-see approach.
