Joel Embiid, in a sense, is like the acting player-ambassador for the Sixers. He may not have ties to the front office, but he’s used social media to try to recruit players to the team.
Most recently, he tweeted out an open invitation for Kristaps Porzingis to join the Sixers, after team president Phil Jackson announced the Knicks are shopping him.
And now he’s already welcoming Markelle Fultz to the Sixers. Just minutes after the team drafted him with the first overall pick on Thursday night, Embiid showed some love for the future star.
Congrats to @MarkelleF and welcome to the team #TheProcess
