Markelle Fultz didn't asked to be drafted #1 . Fultz didn't trade away a lottery pick and pass on Jayson Tatum. Fultz is 20 years old. He's played less than 300 minutes in the NBA.Give the kid a frigging chance before blaming him for everything. He's symptom, not the cause

I’ve been the PAA for SJU men’s basketball for 14 seasons. And I will tell you Phil Martelli treated people with respect. He was dedicated to SJU and is a good man. He is also fond of the words “Thank You” & thinks we all should say them more. Well, Thank You Coach for 24 years.
