Timeline

1952

In 25 games that season, his 23.2 point average was the highest mark in the Pac-12 in 20 years and second in Huskies history behind Bob Houbregs' 25.6 points per game in 1952–1953.

Fultz also led the team in minutes played with 35.7 per game as well as assists with 5.7 per game and was second in rebounds with 5.9 per game.

By the time Pac-12 honors were awarded, Fultz—‌the lone Husky selected—‌was named to the First-team All-Pac-12 and Third-team All-American.

1998

Markelle N'Gai Fultz (born May 29, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

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.

2012

In 2012, he began attending DeMatha Catholic High, an all-boys prep school and basketball powerhouse.

He had shown promise on the DeMatha Stags' freshman team; but as a sophomore, the 5 ft guard was cut from the varsity roster.

He was overlooked due to his awkward gait, having the appearance of "Bambi"; as assistant coach Cory McCrae explained, "He was long and lanky, and he’d walk and his knees would be hurting".

However, Fultz outplayed the competition at the junior varsity level, making it apparent that he did not belong there.

Assistant coach Raphael Chillious of the Washington Huskies was the first to notice Fultz's potential, describing him as an athlete with the makings of an NBA All-Star-caliber player if he continued to grow.

At the start of his junior season, Fultz stood 6 ft. As a starter for DeMatha's varsity team, he averaged 16.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and was named the Player of the Year in the highly-competitive Washington Catholic Athletic Conference.

Among the highlights of his junior campaign were the game-winning foul shots he made in a 16-point performance while being guarded by Jayson Tatum of Chaminade and the triple-double he posted in a matchup against Roselle Catholic at the Hoophall Classic.

The 76ers, after years of mediocrity, had lofty expectations of returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2012; such were the high hopes that rested on their new core consisting of Fultz, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons.

In his first regular season game, on October 18, the rookie posted 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in 18 minutes of play coming off the bench.

It was not long, however, before a shoulder injury—termed a "scapular muscle imbalance"—so ravaged his shooting that he shot only 33 percent from the field and attempted zero three-pointers in four games.

In response, the 76ers decided to sit Fultz indefinitely until he recovered.

2015

On August 21, 2015, Fultz committed to the University of Washington.

As a senior, he averaged 19.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game where he concluded his high school career as he recorded the Stags' single-season record for assists with 278 and led the team to their second consecutive conference championship.

2016

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.

His recruiting stature abruptly soared during this season, with Rivals.com ranking him number 24 in the Class of 2016 and over 20 college programs offering him scholarships.

At the McDonald's All-American Game on March 31, 2016, Fultz tallied 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

At the Jordan Brand Classic come April, Fultz accumulated 19 points in a 131–117 East team victory.

During the summer, he was selected to Team USA's FIBA Americas Under-18 roster.

With Fultz as its leading scorer, the team progressed to the gold medal championship game; and in dominant fashion, Fultz posted 23 points and earned the tournament's MVP award for his performance.

By the end of his senior year, Fultz was rated as a five-star recruit considered a top-ten recruit in the 2016 class.

He was ranked as the third best point guard in the 2016 high school class and number three overall by Scout.com, number five by Rivals.com, and number seven by ESPN.

The Washington Huskies were fully expecting to open the 2016–17 season with Dejounte Murray and Marquese Chriss; instead, however, both freshmen were selected in the first round of the 2016 NBA draft.

Fultz said of the anticipated scenario if they had stayed: "I think we would be No. 1 in the country. We would have gone to the (NCAA) tournament and won".

Without any proven talent and only one returning starter, Fultz took charge as a team leader and primary scorer.

As the starting point guard, he debuted in a 98–90 home game loss to the Yale Bulldogs in which he posted 30 points.

Although the Huskies finished with a disappointing 9–22 record, Fultz enjoyed one of the best freshman seasons in all Pac-12 Conference history.

2017

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.

A player who "jumps off the page athletically and possesses creative scoring instincts and playmaking skills", the consensus among sports analysts was that Fultz would be the first overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

Fultz was selected as the first overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, who then finalized his four-year rookie contract on July 8.

2019

He began his NBA career with the 76ers before being traded to the Magic in 2019.

Unable to recreate his 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.

2020

At DeMatha, Fultz was a basketball teammate and friend of Chase Young, who was later named the 2020 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year after being selected by the Washington Football Team second overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
