The inside of his suit jacket pays homage to his Huskies and even includes a hashtag, F2G: Faithful to the Grind.  But Spike Lee would be happy to know Fultz’s shoes are the best part of...

    Don't give Lonzo Ball to Lakers just yet; he's perfect fit for Sixers

    So you think Lonzo Ball is going to the Lakers, right? Search for a mock draft, and chances are Ball is going second. You’re not even picturing Ball in a Sixers uniform.
