2017 NBA Draft: Potential No. 1 Pick Markelle Fultz Blocks Little Kids At the Rim

Plenty of analysts actually have former Washington point guard Markelle Fultz rated ahead of LaVar Ball‘s overhyped son Lonzo Ball heading into the 2017 NBA Draft.

Though the former UCLA guard has garnered more headlines, the tools of Fultz have scouts drooling at the potential of the next John Wall.

But his performance against little kids probably doesn’t factor in to that equation.

Or maybe it does, as Fultz seemed like a great friend to these kids with his playful denials at the rim and making them chase down his persistent swats.

Perhaps it’s that human element that will get this kid drafted ahead of Ball.

But if not, this really was no less entertaining to watch.
