but this kid can play off of ben simmons on the two. and simmons not at point guard. and they can change the experiment where he goes to the three position. there's your starting point guard. a lot of versatility. up and down the floor. shoot a little bit, has to improve that. but a great handle as you can see and gets to the basket. >> that much of a difference in fultz than any other guy in the draft? >> no. fox is my favorite player in the draft, but this guy fits more than the aaron fox. he can slide to the two. he can shoot the jump shot where fox is more of a penetrator, get into the paint, throw up a tear drop >> >> well, fultz is drawing comparisons to james hardin. mvp candidate. he dreamed of become the first overall pick. >> i think it would be cool being with a young team. the upside of it would be crazy. like i said, close to home. so my friends come out and show love. this city has great fans >> yes, they do. he showed up yesterday with his personal sixers hat talking about cheese steaks. >> yeah, very impressive. the only thing i question, why did he go

he's going to keep ben simmons at point guard, the primary ball handler. though they drafted fultz, a point guard. would they be better off moving simmons to the small forward, the three-spot, and then putting fultz at the point and bringing in a shooting guard? >> well, i don't know if they could bring in a shooting guard who could start. so i thought originally three would be his best position. but i'm starting to warm up the position that he could be the one. and i love the way fultz can play on or off the ball. simmons, they can move simmons into a three spot, or fultz can take over from the bench. the verse tilt of bench allows that. >> a 610 point guard. a lot of analysts suggested to move simmons to the three. >> magic johnson did it. >> that's true. >> the thing about simmons, he handles the ball really low. which is really good. you know? a six foot nine guy who pounds the ball up is not good. but he has ball handling skills low. i'm willing to give it a shot. >> not done talking sixers. time to let sixers and embiid run wild? minute restrictions.

ben simmons has generational talent. there is no concern about his talent. fultz injury was there but he played through it. it hasn't been a concern you don't think it will be a concern. >> in the at all. >> there are jokes is that why they vetted him to make sure he is hit no concerns about fultz. >> sixers made other picks i wish they would go with some guys with common names here so we can pronounce them. >> no, i can't. he is lativan center. we tried to do it, and you cannot even do that. >> we will call him ap until we learn later. >> ap. >> he will be a powerhouse. >> 7-foot two, shoot basketball, he need to get better on defense. he need to fill out a bit. >> he is a poor poor man certainty. >> we will be right back. fios is not cable. we're a 100% fiber optic network. now with our new fios gigabit connection, you get amazing download speeds up to 940 megs, 20 times faster than most people have. and the price is amazing too for $79.99 a month online for the first year you'll get our fastest triple play with hbo included for 2 years. leave cable's slow

him and ben simmons, he and joel embiid can be a pick and roll.d a way to make it work. >> i like all of those things you just said. >> derek, with him and this core, everyone wants to know is this one that can, compete, for championships it is tough with lebron in thee right now but in the future do you see that being a possibility. >> yeah, it certainly is a core that has that potential. they have along way to go, 31 combined games between them. but joel em bee he does have top five, top 10 player in the league potential. when you have two guys like simmons and fultz who fit so well off of them. fultz is a perfect guard as jake was saying to come in here to play alongside ben simmons and joel embiid. it will be a great core to watch to develop. they have that potential. >> outside first pick in the draft sixers have few more in the second round what could they do tonight and rest of the off season. >> i can see them taking another guard to backup markell fultz and cj mcconnell frank jackson from duke can go out after his first year, high level p

markell fultz is the perfect fit, mike and alex for this team, to play alongside ben simmons embiid,ario, you need someone who can shoot, score. markell fultz is perfect. 6-foot five, sweet jump shot. he can take it to the rim. a good offensive player. you can put mike and alex, get ready for philly sixers. >> the general manager knows what he is doing. >> it will happen. it will happen right away. this team will be a championship contender, they will make playoffs next year, the following year, they will be ready to compete in the east. >> i hate to bring this up. >> good team. >> take it to the bank. >> take it to the bank. >> hate to bring this up but what about the fact that his team, out of washington right. >> university of washington. >> they didn't do so well, last year. >> they had nine wins. >> don't worry about that. let me ask you a quick question did anybody worry about ben simmons record in college when he was slicing and dicing through summer league and he looked like a generational talent not one person had that concern. it is the same with fultz. don't buy into that

he think he would be a really good fit for the sixers, especially playing with ben simmons. >> ben is here. a great passer. i can play on the ball, off the ball. i think they need a shooter like this. like me. anybody who can shoot the ball. i don't want to like, name-call or anything like that. i think i am a perfect fit. >> perfect fit! how about villanova's josh hart. worked out with the sixers today with former teammate darrell reynolds. josh projected to be a second round pick. josh struggled with his shot today. he says he is altering it and working on it. josh, where do you think you're going to go in the draft? >> the goal is to get inquiries right now. no matter what you hear or anything like that, no matter if you are top ten pick, top 30 pick, top 40, whatever it is, you know, you want to hear your name called. that's the biggest thing. >> this is a good sight today. joel embiid and ben simmons shooting it, hanging out. in four months hopefully they'll play together for the first time. the phillies, of course, have lost eight straight. can they win a game? finished the home

last year ben simmons number one and this year markelle foltz and sixers fans are trusting the process and hopefully foltz is the final piece to this long and drawn out process. the sixers traded up efrlier with the celtics for the number one overall pick with the intention all along with the intense of drafting markelle foltz out of washington who they think clearly is the best prospect. during the workout in camden think foltz talks to simmons and joel embiid and he made him feel comfort right away and. >> he is a jokester and being with him, he is a good dude and wants the best for you. that is all it is cracking jokes and giving me advice for this whole weekend. >> i think he could be a good pick for us if we draft him. he has the chance to be the number one pick. >> embiid of course tweeted out this could be ledgery tweeting a picture of foltz as well as simmons and robert covington and sixers fans envisioning what this could be. foltz wants to win multiple nba championships before it's all said and done. this could be the final piece to the sixers pussle. >> thank you. ducis roge

we thought it might be brandon ink ram we knew it was ben simmons it's a deaf this year markelle fultzew as soon as they got the trade. markelle came right up to the sixers facility in camden to work out and he met all the guys. ben simmons, joel embiid, robert covington and since then he's been in constant contact with these guys because it's already like a family situation. hear what he had to say about keeping in touch with all the sixers players. >> me and ben simmons already have good relationship the fans there are just blowing up instagram and twitter. shows the support they have. >> have you been in touch with a lot of guys at all. >> i've been talking to embiid, simmons, robert, all of them just talking about the chances if i come there and just getting advice really them telling me about the draft process and enjoying the process. >> of course, he's enjoying the process. later in sports, we'll talk about him loving cheesesteaks, loving philly and already trusting the process. guys, back to you. >> all right. thank you very much, sean bell. talk to you soon. >>> eye sore on on
