Markelle Fultz appears to be the consensus favorite to go number one overall in the 2017 NBA Draft. The University of Washington guard has many teams clamoring for his services but in all reality, the Boston Celtics are the only team with a real shot to land him.
Fultz already met with and worked out for the Boston Celtics and he is reportedly only meeting with them leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft. But according to one report, Fultz is possibly working out for one more team.
The Sacramento Kings, a team battling recent franchise dysfunction, reportedly had a workout scheduled for the top prospect for this upcoming weekend.
Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee first reported that the Kings were working out Fultz this upcoming weekend, just under two weeks before the 2017 NBA Draft.
Hearing late tonight that possible overall No.1 draft pick Markelle Fultz is working out for Kings on Sunday. Media availability unclear …

But her Sacramento Bee co-worker Jason Jones is reporting quite the opposite. Fultz will not be in this weekend for any sort of meeting with the Kings.
I'm told my multiple sources Markelle Fultz will not visit the Kings on Sunday. A visit is possible, but it's not this weekend.

Someone needs to get the story straight, please. Please. It’s really unlikely that Fultz is working out for the Kings but you never know with the NBA.
