Philadelphia 76ers Markelle Fultz & Draftees Introductory Press Conference

The Philadelphia 76ers will be a playoff team in 2018. There are several reasons for this. For one, they play in the East, where the No. 8 seed has averaged 40 wins over the last five seasons, and also because they didn't add just Markelle Fultz as the No. 1 pick this season, but they will be getting former No. 1 pick Ben Simmons back to start next season.

It would be silly to believe the 76ers can't win 10-12 more games with those players on the court, and in Fultz's introductory news conference Friday afternoon he was the first one to say that he fully believes the Sixers can make it to the postseason: "I am serious when I say that. That is not just me talking because I am a player. I really think that we can be a [playoff team]."
